Hello to all, im new here and new to jars. I have no clue what i have or what they are worth..I have been looking at some of the groups on Facebook. I kinda have a slight clue what they are but no idea what they are worth.. These are my dads collection,I have a bit of a back story on him. He bought an old cotton mill in Waterford Ontario Canada that was converted into a 2 story antique marked with80 plus vendors. He was an avid jar collector from what I can tell. Well he has since sold off the antique market and he has now lost interest in the collection and asked me to sell them when I get the time..So they are for sale and I have taken high resolution pictures..But first id like to have an idea of what we have..Is this the correct place to post them? I have taken photo's of approx 16 jars and have many more to get into..Some I want to keep..Only cause I like them..Anyway thanks for allowing me to join your group and I cant wait to hear what you all say..
Thanks, Ron, Ontario Canada

Welcome to the club. There are many people on here that can help. The 1st thing we need is a picture of each jar, size and description. If you cannot post pictures email them to deenodean@hotmail.com and I will do it for you. I am in NS.

There are several nice jars there, try taking a picture of the whole jar from the front, rear, base & top (1 picture each) showing the full picture of what you have. The ABGA is a nice one as are the olive color one (can't tell what it is) and the Dominion is nice (not worth much but a nice example)

Some nice Canadian jars there. Great colours , especially the amber Crown and puce New Gem. The Dominion Wide Mouth Made in the British Empire pint is your most valuable jar. It is listed as Austrialian made but there r some who think it was made in Canada. There are also some very common Crowns too. ABGA , made in USA is a great jar . If you have any for sale , private message me.

I have that too but I know why. I run a script blocker and there's more than 15 that want permission. I'll try it later after I disable it or allow them.
