Here is a jar that makes me cringe every time I see it listed on epay. I've seen it described as a salesman sample, and it really has no right to be listed in the jar category. The only link to the fruit jar world happens to be a zinc lid that will screw onto the openings. The epay item number is 121464593199 in case the link doesn't work;http://www.ebay.com/itm/121464593199The next time I see the real world application for this glass globe I will snap a picture. It's actually a liquid storage container for an old school bug sprayer. The long discharge nozzle screws to one side, and the pump handle/charger to the other. Just want folks in this forum to know, and not be misguided.Paul

I hope you can Paul. I would only guess it's not an fruit jar but not what it is. What is the embossing, do you know?Here's the picture by 50kurt50. [attachment=Clipboard01.jpg]

I found this picture on the good ole interweb. The times I have seen these things at antique auctions it never occurred to me to see if there was a makers mark on it. Like I said, if you are picking this up and think it's cool because a zinc lid screws down on both ends, so be it. But it's far from a salesman sample and I wanted to make sure the folks here knew it.Paul
