    Anyone have a lid for a quart-size Ball Eclipse Wide Mouth?

    I can close it now but without the rubber I'm worried about chipping or cracking with glass-on-glass.

    Anyone have a lid for a quart-size Ball Eclipse Wide Mouth?

    Thank you, Corey! I just put your payment in the mail. The bail is a little tight so I'm not going to try and close the jar until I get a gasket for it. Donald

    Anyone have a lid for a quart-size Ball Eclipse Wide Mouth?

    I have a 1930s vintage quart-size Ball Eclipse Wide Mouth canning jar which, sadly, no longer has a lid. Does anyone out there happen have an orphan 3" lid to fit this lovely specimen? I know it's probably too much to ask for an orphan wire bail, as well, but one can dream. Donald

    Old Kerry Beverages - embossed & virtually no space for label

    Well, I'm not sure what Seurat called his technique, if he'd called it anything at all, but as I understand the art term, "pointillism" is merely a subspecies of stippling applied to create the effect of blended colors from a distance. "Stippling" is indeed the word used by painters to identify...

    Old Kerry Beverages - embossed & virtually no space for label

    Interesting. I saw that in my research, but it seems to be an outlier. Stippling in general is the creation of patterns with small dots. It's a technique used in many media, especially paint. As I understand it, glass stippling is creating decorative patterns on the surface using a tool...

    Old Kerry Beverages - embossed & virtually no space for label

    Well, then, that settles it! I thought I caught a whiff of the eastern Black Sea as I unearthed this bottle.

    Could these be poison bottles?

    Could any of these cute little guys have contained poisons in their time? I'm pretty sure the one on the far right is a perfume bottle designed to reside in a filigree cage. Donald

    Old Kerry Beverages - embossed & virtually no space for label

    Actually, "stippling" refers to creating designs on glass with tiny indentations poked into it with a pointed tool. Pebbled glass has tiny bumps, not indentations.

    Old Kerry Beverages - embossed & virtually no space for label

    Well, I think I've dated this bottle. On the base there is a capital letter "G" inside a square which, I believe, is the mark of the Glenshaw Glass Company of Pittsburgh. Just beneath the lip of the bottle appears a faint letter "O" which indicates that the bottle was made in 1943. Do I have...

    Old Kerry Beverages - embossed & virtually no space for label

    I considered that possibility as well. Do you have any information on Old Kerry Beverages and the possible date of this particular bottle?

    Old Kerry Beverages - embossed & virtually no space for label

    I meant "body" not "base" and I remembered that the bumpiness is called "pebbling."

    Old Kerry Beverages - embossed & virtually no space for label

    This is another one in my collection about which I have learned almost nothing thus far. It has an embossed ring around the body reading "OLD KERRY BEVERAGES" on one side and "LYNN & HAVERHILL, MASS." on the other. Most of the base is ribbed, bumpy (I forget what that's called) or both. Only...

    Very weird jar lid (?)

    Here is my "Pat. Applied For" Schies closure:

    Very weird jar lid (?)

    Just a couple of months ago I found one just like yours, wheelah, except that mine is embossed "pat. applied for." I assume this means it was made in 1898 or earlier. I'm going to bed now but I'll post a pic in the morning. Donald

    Possibly unusual 1937 Coke "Christmas Bottle"

    I've been discussing this 1937 Coca-Cola "Christmas Bottle" from Newburyport, MA in the post-1900 forum, and I've been told that the date code on the side of the bottle is quite unusual for a pre-1940 specimen (it's clearly not a 1989 repro), and that I ought to bring the discussion over to this...

    DEC 25, 1923 COKE BOTTLES

    I have a 1937 Christmas Bottle from Newburyport, MA that I've been discussing in the post-1900 forum and I have been told that the date code on it is not what one would expect from a pre-1940 bottle. This bottle is indisputably vintage as shown by the base. Is that date code really unusual...

    Coke "Christmas Bottle" from Newburyport, MA

    I am sprinting over to the soda forum at this very moment. Donald

    Coke "Christmas Bottle" from Newburyport, MA

    That would be a rare find, indeed! Please correct me if I am wrong, but I believe this is the date code for this particular bottle:

    Coke "Christmas Bottle" from Newburyport, MA

    According to the information I have, the hobbleskirt bottles embossed with the December 25, 1923 patent date were produced between 1928 and 1938. The date code on the side of my bottle indicates it was produced in 1937. Donald

    Coke "Christmas Bottle" from Newburyport, MA

    Thanks, Dean. Btw, I went to your website and when I saw that it was devoted to pharmacy bottles, I immediately thought of this nice little find from this past summer:
