Hi. Welcome to the site. I have a question concerning a fruit jar in picture #7. The jar appears to be "The Marion Jar Mason's Patent Nov.30th 1858". This is a fairly common jar in Aqua colored glass, but is the jar pictured clear (colorless) glass? If so, that is a pretty scarce jar rarely seen in clear glass.

Suriname? How old we talking? 1600's? Love the Benicia. I have to ask about these two. Top one especially. Unique looking, is that the original closure? Thanks.

Not totally sure. It seems it has a Blue/Aqua hue to it on one or two spots. Also in certain light it seems more clear. I took a couple pictures. If it was the Aqua color at one time, its faded quite a bit.

Yes Suriname, in South America. It was found under a house. My bf watched him dig it out. Then paid for it and it was shipped to him. 1700's actually. I took a screenshot of one similar online.

As far as the Benicia. I'm assuming yes it's the original closure. He thinks so as well. I took some close up pictures. I hope that helps. I can't wait for The Red Book to come.

Kind of a strange display. Things from the latter part of the 20th century in close proximity to things from the early to late 1800s. Worthless next to valuable. Definitely not how I display, but whatever floats your boat, floats your boat ! Lovely onion bottle.
