Unidentifiable jar or not?

[Altom]

Greetings everyone I went to an estate sale listed in the local pennysaver and was able to find many nice finds. The jar below is one of the finds i made. I picked it up cause i was just curious to find out more about it when i got to the computer. So i got to the computer and well jst going by the markings on the bottom i am stumped. Any idea to identifying this jar and pherhaps the history of so would be much appreciated. Thanks for looking.

Hey Altom,
The bottom says Wheaton. This is a modern company that made reproductions. Sometimes they still have some value but certainly not as much as the real article.

not real sure but looks like a Greek key design

Thank you for the info there ,apparently im still learning but all in good fun. Hopefully i will find some more exact info on what this jar is called and what it was for initially.

 

[Altom]

So thats what that design is called?

These also came with an old style lid and I believe they were part of the 'Grandma Wheaton's" paper labeled jelly jars that started in the 1970's...
