Patent Pending and Strong Shoulders.......



I think I need both, stronger shoulders and also a patent on my being. There should only be one of me for sure for the safety of this country.

Two more jars from the garage. I couldn't throw them away that day. The Atlas Mason jar advertises it has stronger shoulders on their jar and the patent is proudly shown as being received on Nov. 30, 1868 on the Mason jar. I was amazed by both of these blue bottles.

I don't blame you for hanging on to these lovely old jars. Amazing that they have survived so long. Thanks for sharing them with us.

Those are wonderful Mason jars. I have a few old ones that were my mother-in-laws.
Sorry I am so behind with comments!
