Some of my more interesting jars! I inherited these from mema, more detail provided in captions! I’m just looking for some information regarding my unique jars, my jars with defects, and my blank jars. Thanks for being so supportive!

Very cool collection you have!
I suspect the totally blank ones not to be real mason jars.
I have not come across wide mouth Golden Harvest jars yet, at least in my area.
The 1776 with liberty bell was sold in boxed sets with 2 or three other designs for USA bicentennial. I don’t even can but I bought a box for my daughter because she was born in 1976. She has them now using for dry storage.
