Anyone know much about them. I am guessing it is pre-1900 due to the massive amount of air in the glass? Will post pic if anyone knows something about them.
From the fruit jar works #1 and red book #9, Triumph No. 3 Its # 2815-1 described as a "groove ring wax sealer ground lip, made with 3 piece mold possible made by the Aetna glass works around 1869 or so" and worth more than I could afford!!! Nice jar
Great looking jar, sir. Please put up some more pictures after her bath.
"The 1869/1870 edition of the city directory listed only W.F. Modes as the proprietor of the Aetna Glass Works at Chestnut (Figure 6). The plant made “black & green glassware, druggists’ ware, bottles, demijohns, porter, ale and soda bottles†as well as fruit jars, including the “Victor†(self sealing) and the “Triumph†(grooved-ring wax sealer). The works and office were located at “Forty-Second (late Chestnut) St†(Hawkins 2009:13; McDougald & McDougald 1990:106; Roller 1996; 1998a:13). The ad must have been submitted shortly before the dissolution of the company.2" From.
There's an ad from Aetna/W.F. Modes at Fig. 6 in the above link that heralds the "Triumph." Gotta love that Pittsburgh glass.
Have a look at "1277. TRIUMPH No 3 Aqua QUART Early WAX SEALER
