Just alittle diggin

[madpaddla]

Hello all:

Already took down two 50 year+ trees which stopped me from finding China but not now. I'm gonna get there. Down 9 feet plus bottomless so far. I'm just gonna plow through the dirt now (no trees in the way) Two people would do more damage than just me but this way I can keep it quiet.
I know some feelings on 1000 Fruit Jars but I'm just using it as a reference.
Millville Atmospheric Fruit Jar
Whitalls Patent June 18th 1861 (on back)
The book had it at $60 - $75. Is that right? As always thanks a ton folks. Madpaddla

Hey Ben, Thats what it is listed for in the Red Book but that is with the closure and in good shape.

A very nice find anyway and you may be able to find a lid and clamp.
