Holy smokes...Those are some nice finds all the way around. There are some common ones there too but they are keepers as well. Looks like some fairly common cone inks, a Bixby in the backround, some Florida water. Not sure on the torpedo types. Holy cow though thats a nice pile of glass. Keep it going jgas

Pin-Money was a pickle jar... or maybe relish.

pin-money was also a British term used to explain the change saved to but little nice things and luxuries. Maybe the jar was used as a bank after the contents were emptied?
