Welcome MIKE to collecting. Nice jars you have there. Can we get a better picture of the green qt in front of the lamp and gallon jar next to the lamp? Thx..

Welcome and hope you have plans to buy more shelves because the jars tend to multiply! The first thing you need to get is the Red Book which is an invaluable reference on fruit jars and will save you a bunch in the long run. The first jar you show looks like a #1920 in perhaps apple green (hard to tell from your photo) and is one of the jars with the widest variations in color there is. the numbers on the base are mold numbers. The second jar looks like a # 1667 circa 1913-1920
