Susan ran across this on the 'net and printed it up. Our coin jar is old!

It appears to be from 1923-1933. Sure looks like it went through the depression

Got quiet a few of them blue jars, some newer than yours and some older. People say they are worth big bucks for some, but never find anyone wanting to shell it out.

I guess you just ask it if it would join you for dinner.

I have dated some ugly women but haven't been desperate enough to go out with a canning jar.


I have nothing clever to put here.

Thanks. Do you have similar guides for Kerr and Atlas. We probably have 600 jars, some of which are from two or three generations back, but most newer. Diane keeps giving out the older ones, though I tell her not too. We seldom get jars back. My dad is the only person, who saves and returns them reliably.
