Thanks Warren!
Here are two more that came in trades with forum members.
I much prefer this to e-bay. The jar on the left is very heavily whittled. The one on the right has a nice blob and swirl along with the pushed in front and heavy whittle.

RE: extra CRUDE common jars wanted

I have quite a large (inherited) jar collection to sell but will need to go thru them for "crude" ones. Could you tell me what the whittling is?

RE: extra CRUDE common jars wanted

Whittling is an old term, as used by fruit jar collectors, to describe the rippled or hammered looking surface found on some jars. This condition is created when molten glass is blown into a mold that has not been properly heated. The first jar blown at the start of the day would be the most whittled. By the time a few jars had been produced the condition was gone and the rest of the days jars would be normal.
I would be interested in any crude jars that you may have and I would be happy to help you with any questions. If you are interested in selling the entire collection in one lot, I would also be interested in making you an offer on it.

RE: extra CRUDE common jars wanted

Since this got bumped up I am posting a pic of some recent new finds now in the crude collection. The half gallon THE HERO is very heavily whittled and has lots of bubbles (I need a tin lid). The wax sealer is very heavily whittled and has many nice bubbles. The blue 1858 has no whittling but does have: a whole lot of tiny seed bubbles, a very strange M in MASON'S, a sideways ' in MASON'S, heavy orange peel surface on the base, strong orange peel surface on the back and the crudest mold seams that I have ever seen. The seams stick out on both sides from the base to the top of the threads. The seams stick out so far in the threads that I do not think that there has ever been a lid on the jar. [8D]

It looks like the KGBCo monogram. I would be interested in it. George

George,
Will you be at the K-ZOO show on Saturday? If so, I will bring one that I have for you.
