Well, although I am an avid digger, I'm primarily an ACL soda collector . Recently been getting into jars - had a few set back cause my ex g/f liked em, but I bought a boxful at an estate auction ( to get a couple ACLs in the lot ) .
scored a nice Patent 1858 quart and half gallon, but only one ( not sure original ) lid - will post pics when I can . plus a Lightnight, but it had a small bullseye and when heat shocked during wash it cracked about 2 " []
Question is, on the aqua Atlas, Royal,etc jars I have dug, about 50 % have rusted bails - does anyone repro these ? or can they be swapped out ( as I have a few yard sale find clear Atlas jars with good bails ) . is it worth the effort or should I pass ?
One thing been a mystery to me is what lids go to what jars.. is that explained ( hopefully with pics ) in the legendary red book I hear of ? and if so where do I get one ? []
thanks.
