Archeological Finds Vol. 67 – Mason Jar

By Prince Of Petworth

Thanks to ss for sharing from U Street: “When we dug out the basement of our 1890 rowhome, the crew unearthed an old mason jar, completely intact, that was under the old cement slab. According to the markings on the bottom of the jar, it was created in Harpers Ferry, WV in the 1920s, if I recall correctly. We cleaned it off and still have it. I wish I would have thought about burying something before the poured the new foundation.

It really is remarkable that this thing survived the jackhammering of the cement slab and dig out. Glad the workers saved it too.”

If you have a photo of a neat find from your house, place of work or neighborhood please send an email to [email protected] thanks. Please let me know where/what neighborhood you found it in too. Thanks.
