Here are a couple of 1870-80s, cathedral pickle jars:

I love them! We dig a lot of broken ones here in Texas but never have dug a whole one. I have a few around the house I have accumulated over the years but they are pretty pricy to make a collection of!

Well, show us one of those you are proud of! You don't have to have many examples to have a collection. Keep in mind that "pickles" includes capers, olives, and other condiments preserved in vinegar or brine. More broadly applied, the term might include such things as truffles, cherries in brandy, and who knows what else.

Here's another couple to encourage you:

No one has images of his collection? . . . Not even for insurance purposes?

Here's another pickle jar in my collection:

Thanks for sharing! I do love them and have a few but typically can't afford them. We dig a lot of broken ones in old rash pits here in Texas...maybe someday I'll dig a whole one!
