Scott, what sort of input are you looking for?

 

[scottr]

Are they hard to find ? Are they valuable I don't have a pic right this min. I changed phones

 

[icollectfruitjars]

It depends on what hue of amber. Really light to yellow are very good. Pints are better than quarts. Condition is key too.

I will put a pic on tomorrow but the glass looks real wavey. Never seen a jar look like that.

When you say wavy it makes me think "Whittled". Then it could be "Hammer Whittled". Value goes up on the latter. Phil is correct, the hue or density or shade of amber has a HUGE effect (or is it Affect) on value. Show us a few pictures in indirect natural sunlight and we should be able to help more. (I'm not sure your phone can do the job) Were waiting anxiously. Jim

An amber Trademark Lightning with no special characteristics will bring maybe $40-$50. What you're describing could be worth substantially more because of: 1. the lighter color - the lighter (or more unusual the color) the better, and 2. the wavy glass - anything that makes it eye-catching such as whittle, waves, color variations, bubbles - adds to the value. If it's as good as you say, maybe $100+. Needless to say, a photo would help a lot. -Tammy
