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 , surf I 'am not in to jars or bottles. But I do keep the ones I find and this was one I thought was cool. Thanks for the ID....HH
 

Nice finds Bill. May be some other goodies still left there too. HH, Quindy.
 

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
