Van Vliet Jar of 1881

Picked this one up many years ago at an estate auction

Now that is a good looking jar. Don't see anything like that at estate sales down here but even a simple root jar would be rare around here. Gotta love fruit jars.

I'm from Ohio but I found this one in PA. Around 1991, I think. The auction listing only stated "Unusual blue canning jar", so I took a chance & drove up to Erie. It was certainly worth the trip!
