Bicentennial Canning Jar
Q: I have a glass quart jar that’s embossed “1776” above the Liberty Bell and “1976” below it. The other side of the jar is embossed “Mason’s.” Is it worth anything?
A: Canning jars like yours were made by Anchor Hocking of Lancaster, Ohio, to celebrate the 1976 Bicentennial of the United States. The jars are often found today and sell for $5 to $10.

Did anybody ever see a 1976 Ball Ideal Bicentennial jar with WIRE spelled wrong? I have one…
I’m selling 7 of these jars.
Here is the eBay link to them: http://www.ebay.com/itm/172790620960?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

I recently purchased a beautiful ewer/vase at a resale store. After research on several websites I’ve discovered it may possibly have some value. It has the Zsolnay Pecs with blue five steeple mark on the bottom which the company used in late 19th century. Also there is a blue number 87? Or 68? The piece is about 5.5″ and is decorated in a bohemian/Turkish floral pattern , cream bottom and brownish top half with gold outlined flowers and line around center. There is a chip on rim of spout. I’m hoping that you can provide further information and possibly age and value or refer me to someone that would be able to. Thank you for your time and assistance.
Kim,
I might be interested. How much are you asking? I would use them for canning and I love anything with 1776.

I have several cases of these jars. How would I find someone who would be interested in purchasing them from me? I have no use for them and they are all just piled up in my basement.
thanks
