A collection of vintage utilitarian glasswares and domestic containers, including several aqua-tinted and clear glass canning jars. A notable portion of the group features jars embossed with the Crown trademark and associated crown logo. The jars are of various capacities, with many retaining original zinc screw-top lids; one clear jar is notable for its glass lid insert decorated with a sunburst pattern. The collection also includes clear glass milk bottles, with one specimen displaying green printed text reading Pasteurized and Bottled by Fisher's Dairy, alongside a brown glazed ceramic power line insulator. One jar features the embossed text MADE IN CA on the shoulder. The glass vessels vary in form from cylindrical to square-shouldered profiles. Dimensions (read from visible tape measure): Small jar: H approx. 11.5 cm Large aqua jar: H approx. 24 cm. Condition: The collection shows signs of age and previous utility. Typical surface wear includes light scratches and accumulated dust. The zinc lids exhibit varying degrees of oxidation and minor denting consistent with age. The glass remains generally intact, though minor flea bites may be present to the threaded rims of uncovered jars. The ceramic insulator is in stable condition.
