What is this?

I dug this strange looking bottle up today. Unfortunatly it was in two peices. There are no markings on it. Any ideas on what it is or how old it may be? Thanks

That looks like an old olive or capers Jar. I've dug quite a few of those. Do you want a whole one? I believe they probably date to the early 1900's to 1920's. I also have a few other slightly older jars that look really cool. I believe that they are also olive jars. I'm weeding out my collection and if your interested I can send you 4 or 5 different bottles for the price of shipping. If your interested I'll package them up and get the weight on them and using your zip code I can give you the price of shipping. I might even throw in a mystery bottle or 2 just to make it interesting. I have 100's of bottles and not enough room to display them all. Jason

Thanks for the info Jason. I'll have to pass on the offer tho. The wife says I've got enough 'junk' without starting a bottle collection.

O.K. I get that from my wife too. If anyone else is interested the offer is on the table. Jason

mlee1969 Since your wife doesn't want you to have a whole bunch of bottles would she settle for a whole replacement of the broken bottle in your pic? Jason

Sure, I can put flowers in it and give it to her. I'll PM you with my address. Thanks
