Why Do Jelly Ear Marked Number 13

Decent Essays
These jars are from around 1920 to 1930. The ones with the glass tops were called Jelly jars. The ones with the metal tops are called zinc tops. The jars are all numbered on the bottom and were often used by moonshiners. Many moonshiners were superstitious and destroyed all of the jars with the number 13. So it is rare to find a jar marked 13. I scour the flea markets and auctions throughout Pennsylvania to acquire them. Each jar is handmade, and no two jars are alike.
Enjoy!

    During the mission period of Northern California, specifically around the missions of the Bay Area, there has been a great amount of research done into uncovering the archaeology of the resistance and level of assimilation undergone by the Natives who lived or were involved with the missions at the time.
