Please ID Jelly Jar (?)

I would think it's a jelly. Am I close? Also thought I'd show a Queen canning jar I found nearby.

I'm pretty sure these are jelly jars, I think they were meant to be able to be repurposed as glasses after they were used. It was a good idea, and one that really should be more common today.

with the threads on it , it wasn't meant as a drinking glass. it looks like it could be anything from a jelly jar to peanut butter or pickle jar. the jelly jars that were used as glasses had pry off lids with a slightly thicker edges at the top instead of threads. they came in 2 sizes.

That jar was patented by the Beech Nut Packing Co. Patent documents are here.

I agree.

I don't care how old it is, or isn't, that Queen Trademark jar is a nice one. That said, the fact that it appears to be turning amesyth is a clue that it might be older, perhaps prior to world war one. So, I'd be interested in knowing its age too.

Looking at your jelly jar it certainly turn of the century,and machine made dottle.They used a lot of magnesium to make the bottle in clear glass.After 100 years in the Sun they start to turn sun color purple.The lip is a crimp type lip to hold on a pry open lid!

It also had the red gasket. I took it out because it was so fragile. Thanks for the feedback!
