The solo picture is an Avon bottle.

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!

Here you go, Deep. A friend just sent me this. It may help you, too.
