This will be my 2nd post for the collection. I probably should have did all this differently but i hope yall enjoy. As I said before feel free to ask questions.
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.
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.Hi. Welcome to the site. I have a question concerning a fruit jar in picture #7.

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.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.

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.
