One of the freebies I got at the antique store last week was a small mason jar. I have been collecting all different kinds now and I picked up this one because I had never seen a Bosco one and my dog's name is Bosco, too. I am having a hard time posting pics because my computer is acting up but I will post one as soon as I can. I have found a Bosco Syrup company but all the jars I have seen from them are the typical jelly/jam jar style with the screw top lids. My jar is from the 1920s or 1930s. It is the type with the wire closure and glass top. It says, "Bosco Double Seal." I am trying really hard to find info about this one and I can't find anything! I'd like to know if it is rare. :)

It has this same writing, except with "Bosco" above it.

Ok, it may be rare and hard to find but it's not valuable! Interesting that this is the only other one I have found and it was in Tacoma, only a few miles from me. I wonder if it was a local company or something. Or they found theirs at the same antique store.

I looked it up for you in my bottle book. It's worth $40.00

Thank you! Pretty good for a mason jar. :)
I wrote the ebay one and they said they found theirs many years ago at an estate sale.

It seems it's the only mason jar they made. I found this bottle in "Kovels Bottles". This is a great price guide book. I have many, but this book has the best info.
