Hey got2dig,

Thanks for showing us the spot, and some of your finds. That jar is a packer jar.

Design Patent 105231, was issued to Fred J Petty in 1936 / 1937. A late 1930's Ball Catalog lists this as a "Zephyr Modernistic" Packing Jar. Fred Petty was a son-in-law to one of the Ball Brothers and was in charge of Ball's Packing Division.

See the design patent here Patent USD105231 - DESIGN FOR A PACKER JAR

Thanks, Quindy I'am going to keep on this spot. There's two more house sites here that I have not yet. This site has more there and we are going to push the pile over so I can hunt it and to get the logs out of it. Hope all is well with you guys...HH
