James keiller & son Dundee Marmalade

[Ninjafossils]

Found this jar at my TOC bottle dump site. It's a bottle of marmalade from England. A listing online says it is from 1900-1940. But it seems older. Any idea on the date? Bottom says: MALING
No 1122_
PATENT

Obviously, it post dates 1862.
Here's some company history:

The O under the ribbon on the jar might be for a date code I believe, I do not know what time period that dates it to though... sorry

Hey Ninjafossils,

Going from the registration number, I'd say 1884, or later. There's an interesting article by Bill Mathew on pages 6 & 7 on dating the jars: http://maling-pottery.org.uk/08.pdf
