These were my yard sale finds today, The refridgerator jar and the smuckers were a buck each and the case gin? was 10.00, I love the crude neck on the gin even with the damage. The woman I bought it from said she got it 40 years ago in miami when she had an antique store and just liked the look. Any info on these would be greatly appreciated and would like an estimate on age of the gin. The smuckers has a copyright date on the front of 1938 but the jar looks more like 40's or 50's but I am more than likely wrong. The base has the numbers 165-12 over 16-H and the 1933-1960 ball logo. The refridgerator jar has no makers markings on it. It's been a long time since I found any decent bottles or jars so Merry Christmas to me![:D]

i dont know why, but i am feeling like that gin is an early dip mold? like 1810-ish? DO NOT take my word for it though. [:D]

The lid and label on the Smuckers jar is great, I've never seen one like that.

Thanks for all the info, It's really crude and tends to lean left also kind of unclear as to the base markings which sorta looks like an X. The color is a bit off on the pictures above so I've done some color correction on this one, its more green than amber and this is as close as I could get. Would like to narrow the dates of this a bit and also a value as it stands. These are way out of my area of knowledge and would love to hear some history on these.
