ORIGINAL: epackage

3 days ago this great pickle jar showed up on Ebay, the seller spelled New Jersey wrong so I'm guessing the short time period and the error in the listing made for only a handful of views( he had no view counter). What I can tell you is that this is only the second one to ever be found, the other is owned by the Paterson Bottle Guru, which is lucky for me because it would have been much more expensive than the $9.99 I just paid for it. It's stands 8-1/2" tall and is embossed on the bottom R. P. Co. Paterson New Jersey and there's an area that looks like it would have had a paper label, I am stoked to add it to my collection...

RECKHOW PRESERVING CO.

They were in business from 1875-81 and then they were bought out by the Paterson Pickle Co. in 1882.

Great bottle Jim!! and only two known!! kinda gives ya a good feeling to add a good one to your collection doesnt it!.Andy

Thanks Andy & Jordan, it's a great addition indeed. Funny how one of the hardest to find bottles for my collection probably has some of the least appeal, good thing for me...[]
