Utica, New York bottle show finds

[dygger60]

Here is a couple of finds from the Utica, New York bottle show.....great, sunny day...awesome people....only draw back not to many jars at all.....did manage to get these in a trade...

These jars are unlisted in pint size for some reason.....12 oz., quarts and hg...but not the LOCKPORT MASON IMPROVED....by the way...the referece books I have do no describ what the lids have on them...anyone know?

The second is a "dead clear"....Masons Patent 1858 quart....and the great thing is that the "N" are reversed in PATENT and NOV....does anyone have a clear insert for this jar?

There was this Italian Pizza Shop next door..been around since 1912...FANTASTIC pie.....

Nice jars Dygger, your other bottles are nice too, great color. I went to the show in Greenwich, antiques and such, lots of glass and plenty of jars. I guess I need to start reading my red book so I know what to look for. I picked up a small Florida water and some local commemorative flasks. I'll post those a little later tonight.

Yeah... I was a little let down by the jar offerings...they had some nice jars there....but nothing that I collect...well actually there was a couple...but WOW did this guy want an arm and a leg for them...

We kept trying to tell this guy the MPN jar he had was not citron....but wow did he say it was and wanted $750 for it.....we pretty much agreed it was medium green..with some olive in it...but darn we could not convince this guy....

That was probably him diggin....I mean to each their own on what they wanna get for their jars...but lord that guy wanted over $700 for that MPN....

He had a #217 BALLL IMPROVED pint there with an amber swirl down the front...but again,....alas...he wanted almost $100 for it....

I did make a couple of good buys....flasks seem to be the only thing I will pick up besides fruit jars...dont know why, but I have come to enjoy the diverse colors you can get them.

That clear MPN30th quart is great....and to boot I was able to get a clear insert for it....matter of fact I wll be putting up for sale in a few minutes in the "For Sale" section of the site.
