Uncovered more jars today

[No gold in NY]

Seems tough for me to take good pics to show detail. So here is what I got. The three are the small size and the pair are large.

Hero's cross? Is that a good thing? I think i saw another in todays batch. I have lots of lightnings. Thanks for your response.

Nice jars! The 'Hero Cross' is often mistaken for the Maltese Cross and some other crosses, but I think I read that it was a tribute to the fallen/veteran heroes of the war. It has 'HFJCo' around the cross, the "Hero Fruit Jar Company" of Philadelphia. Awesome jars.

Nice jars! That one on the left messes with my head, that one's scary. The 'Hero Cross', I think that's what it is, is often mistaken for the Maltese Cross and some other crosses, but I think I read that it was a tribute to the fallen/veteran heroes of the war. It has 'HFJCo' around the cross, the "Hero Fruit Jar Company" of Philadelphia. Awesome jars.

Thanks NJKLAGT. I looked closely and saw the HFJC around the cross.

Dug Yes that is part of it but there is another site that goes into more detail if I remember correctly .It shows more versions of the Mason line over the years . But that one is a good starting point
