Pennsylvania farm finds

I have a early 1900's Owens Illinois glass co. Catalog that shows they were still selling those 1858 Mason Jars at that time. So they were probably making & selling those Jars for over 50 years which explain why so common. LEON.

But what about ground lip?

 

[hemihampton]

That just means the earlier ones were ground lip while the newer ones were not. Of course the Catalog is not going to specify something so insignificant in my opinion & it doesn't. LEON.

Nice jars! I have an uncle who lives in York Co. Pa. And has a dump on his property that he said I could dig! There used to be an early 1800s maybe 1700s farmhouse nearby and the dump was like directly behind it. Can't wait to see what I get into!

York County Pa here. Trying to get onto a property where I KNOW there are some older, local milk bottles. Just have to get around to asking.

That's a nice old County. York was loaded with daries at a time? Sad how things have changed. Now very few daries, some doing everything they can (more often a second or third job) to keep a business that has been in the family for generations.

Only change is constant.

Nice, is there any interesting drug store bottles from that area?

I wouldn't get too hung up about a decade or two difference in related artifacts found, especially when it comes to fruit jars. Their varied closures often reflects changes in technology. This often throws the losers into new roles. Ex. old favorite/catchalls. When the primary user goes, the jar is out of its place compared to its geographically related nearby artifact friends...
