Hello. This is my first post to the forum.
I am in the process of going through all of the "stuff" that Mom and Dad collected over their lives. Within their estate is the estate that an old family friend left my folks, when she died, in the early 80's. She lived on the same street (Juniette), as my grandparents in Los Angeles, and so my Father knew her most of the years of his life. As there just isn't space for anyone in the family to keep these things, I am trying to list some things on ebay and etsy.
So, I found more bottles and jars than I can count; and I found this forum while trying to find some information about four glass jars that I've come across. I really like these old jars. They are so much nicer than what we get today. One of the jars still has the label, called "Taylored Fruits" "Pickled Apricots" (sounds good) "Net Weight 2 lbs. ?oz.". The maker is either "Taylor & Wattson, Los Angeles" or maybe it's Taylor E. Wattson". The printing at this point of the label, while readable, is a little difficult for my eyes.
I was wondering if any of you had ever heard of this company and their jars. It looks to me like this could be from the 30s, 40s. Maybe even earlier. I wouldn't know. The lip is straight; so it wasn't the screw cap type.
Thanks so much for any ideas.....
