Atlas Strong Shoulder w/ Amber

[sparrow75]

Found this cool Atlas jar with some great amber swirls. It was hidden among several others at a flea market. Cleaned it up a bit and it's in great conditions. The jar is a very light aqua, not too far off clear. Picture taken on a light box. Anyone know data range of this embossing? I know absolutely noth[attachment=IMG_8581 (768x1024).jpg] [attachment=IMG_8586 (768x1024).jpg] ing about Atlas jars.thanks!

Hey Chris, I can't answer your specific question but I can tell you that the jar is quite desirable with those swirls. It adds many times the normal value, especially in a VERY common jar. I collect such animals. Congratulations. P.S. Thanks again for all those "Littles" you got me some time back.

According to the Standard Reference, with the hyphens before and after ATLAS, dates from 1919 to the 1920's.

Good info jarsnstuff, thanks! Jim, that was a fun few days of stumbling upon that huge stash of bottles at that antique store. That was my first "real" run in with purchasing/finding bottles. It started my interest in hutches and druggist bottles (now focusing on KY embossed stuff).

Great example of a common jar that is desirable. Thanks for sharing.
