I picked up this jar at a garage sale along with a couple of quart ground top Crown jars. One I didn't have for my collection.
This Half gallon ground top jar is definitely a canadian jar but the unusual thing besides no embossing at all on the sides of the jar is the diameter of the threads. It is approximately 1/8" smaller in diameter than the normal canadian ground top jar and it looks like 4 rows of threads. Normally they have 2 or 3 rows.
I have a box full of the old metal jar bands and none of them fit the jar. They are too looose.
It also has a fancy number 2 embossed on the base. Any ideas on what jar it could / should have been. Or is it possibly a prototype jar.
This is the only unembossed half gallon ground top that I remember seeing in my 44 years of digging and collecting old bottles here in Southern Ontario.
Here are pictures.
I appreciate any help
