Hi dilly84,

Your jar was made by J.T.& A. Hamilton, Pittsburgh, PA (1884-1943). The maker's mark (H in a triangle) reportedly was used approximately 1900-1943. The style of jar indicates it would have been made late in this time frame.

Redbook #9 lists this jar (#1262, page 166) in pints and quarts only, price $2-$4.
