Better pictures (daylight) of yesterday's finds.

I'll be ordering some bottle brushes today!

The solo picture is an Avon bottle.

Some good data I found for more info on bottles & glass
And Ball Mason Jar dating....

Good gracious! Granny and her mother canned their food for the cold months. Lot's of jars in my basement

I have 2 "Perfect" Mason Jars 1913 to 1923 up here
And 3 "Special" Mason Jars 1910 to 1913 up here.

There's a bunch more jars in the basement I haven't looked at yet.

I just looked, there's pushing 100 jars there

I've a mess in the way and I'll have to make a path to look at those.

I need to make the basement cleaner! I couldn't really get to the shelving - too much stuff in the way.

But, I saw a Ball Special Mason, a Kerr Special Mason, and an Atlas Special Mason.

I need to look up "Kerr" and "Atlas" brands. I brought up one jar, gotta study - no brand name but a symbol that looks like a fat anchor, and amber in color.

Your excitement comes through your posts and it’s kinda catching. LOL. Cleaning and organizing the basement could be a winter project for you. I have a few different jars that I have acquired and I am now using them to put different finds in.
I hope you find more cool history, Deep!
