Madman, if you like these kinds of jars, I think I have a few somewhere on a shelf out in the TWILIGHT ZONE (outbuilding). I will fix you up right with them if they are something you do not have.
Hello Mike, I think I know where they are, which is quite unusual around here! I think I gave three bucks for them at auction one evening over the winter. I will try and get to them tomorrow and take some scans of them and send them to you. If you want them, the price will be three bucks plus shipping. I do like the older embossed peanut butter jars, as well as the vintage tins, as you already know, if you have visited my website, but I am not much into the jars with labels. Just thought it would be a shame to let them get thrown away by someone who knew nothing about them as for being old. I believe they are worth hanging onto, and as you say, will be worth something some day. Will get those scans for you as soon as I can, Lou
Those old jelly jars are quite nice carling. I have a bunch of the jelly jars from the fifties and or sixties, with Davey Crockett , Howdy Dudy , and the Flintstones, as well as the Archie's.
Hello Mike, if I can find where the box is that I put them in out in the garage I will do that for you. I believe most all of them came out in the sixties, I remember the Flintstone glasses were 1963 & 1964, or possibly just 64. I believe the Archies are also in that same date period.The Howdy Doodie glasses, possibly before that. I do not know if you would call the labels pyro painted or not, they are quite like the pyro painted milk bottle labels, thay are not paper labels. There are I think seven or eight different scenes of the Flintstone and the Archies, I can not remember off hand how many of the Howdy Doodies there were, I only have three or four of them. I will try and locate them tomorrow. If I find them, I will take scans of some of them and post them for you to see. I can not remember for sure if they were put out by Welch's or not.
As for the paper labels I told you I have, it seems I have stuck my big foot in my big mouth as for saying I knew where they were. I went out today to get them and they were not where I thought they were. I am going out again tomorrow and see if they are in one of the plastic milk crates I keep bottles and other things in. That might have been where I had seen them, they are not on the blasted shelf where I had thoiught they were. You would have to see the mess I have here Mike to fully understand why I can not find anything when I go to get something. 24 X 32 garage, can not hardly even walk through it - 20 X 24 outbuilding, same way. Take care for now, Lou
Very Nice labels Rick. I had about 100 labled jars at one time but sold them all to a friend who couldn't live without them. Made the wifey very happy.[&:]
