Little Lavender Mason

[Yooper14]

Boy is this wamr weather ever nice! The digging is just starting to heat up again!!! And here's a tip for those of you who like to dabble in more than one hobby. When I do some sifting, I sift into a container I can take home with me. At the end of the day I have a nice package of beautiful black dirt to use in my garden...

Anyhow, I posted this over on the "what is it" forum, but thought I'd show it here. I think it must be common, but it's not in my books. It's a little lavender MASONS 3 fl oz jar. It's all full of bubbles, has an irregular base on the inside, and a dimple all the way around the lower shoulder. I don't think it's a Mason's Fruit Jar...looks more like a polish. I dug it fairly deep, so the color is true, not sun.

Any ideas...

I dug one in aqua and was told it was indeed shoe polish. You're sharp!

Some say masons some says masons shoe dressing some say masons shoe dressing boot pollish somethingsomething, I even found a green one with a spelling error once.

Interesting information. Sounds like the bottle maker for Masons polish was a bit on the amateur side, eh?!

Well Yooper , you just got it from the person I got it from.

Zane,
Maybe the lavender is the Ohio variant. I'm assuming you meant you have the same one...
