The question involves a 14 oz jar – Embossed Pint Product Jar
“/ FRENCH †over “/ MEDFORD †over “/ BRAND †over “/ PREPARED †over “/ MUSTARD â€. the bottom has a strange large off center marked area with an embossed “/ 8 †for a mold number. It has A single thread finish with a guide-ring formed top to it. The mold seams on the bottom heal are set low on the seams so the jar can not set stable on the bottom.
There is now identity of maker but the BIG BOTTLE MYSTERY is that there is no transfer bead under the thread, so the mystery is “ How did they hang the parison in the mold closing to cover it with a blowhead for the final blow? “ It seems that it would have to have been done using the taper of the thread on the top of the mold. It is beyond my imagination.
