I have a load of French canning jars that I need help dating.
They are embossed with the name SOLIDEX.
The one on the desk in front of me has very faint seam lines going to the top. The pontil (?) is slightly off-centre. There is a "G" towards the right side of the base. No other identification marks at all. This one doesn't have a size, but I measured it and it takes about 3/4litre. They are all a clear green colour.
When I first got these jars I did find a web site that gave some information on them, but (typically) I didn't book mark it and several years down the line I need that information. I seem to recall that the factory closed about 1934/5 but I'm not certain about that.
Can anyone jog my memory?
Thanks
Krazey
