JACKPOT!! In 1984 when my husband’s grandma died, we spent days hauling canning jars from the cellar. Many were full. Over the years I’ve picked up cases of jars at farm sales & when women “retire” from canning IMO, the old jars are better made & have outlasted any new ones I’ve been given You are blessed ❤️

I am from the foot hills of the Smokey's and my first guess about alot of jars being in the woods would be moonshine ..Jars have numbers on the bottom if you find a number 13 they are valuable because people were superstitious about putting things in a number 13 jar ... Great find no matter what they were used for ..👍❤️🙏

From what I understand the jars used for moonshine were usually 1/2 gallon. At least that was the case around here. I remember when it was common to have stills blown up in our area. Back in the 1950's & 60's. Suspect that was supposed to be temporary storage, probably from an estate situation,that was never resolved. Just my 2-cents. I do envy the find, a bit. 🙂

If I had to take a guess these were moonshine jars. don’t forget United States had prohibition, where alcohol was basically forbidden from being sold. Michigan, Wisconsin Chicago parts of Canada for making moonshine and transporting it down to Detroit and further south. That’s how Al Capone made his money. It’s a really wonderful, fine. Thank you for sharing.

This is amazing. I was recently given two boxes full of mason jars that belonged to a family’s grandma, they were going to throw them away and I was so happy to take them… I’ve yet to use them, maybe as decor because I’m sure you can’t can in those things anymore. But I felt so excited to have a piece of history. They have to be over a 100 years old, the people giving them to me were aged… so if it was their grammas… then they are really old. I have to research. Some were blue also. It definitely felt like a treasure to me.

That’s awesome. As long as the jars accept the current flat lids and rings, and they are not cracked or chipped, you should be fine canning in them. The antique zinc lids or flip top/glass type lids are not considered safe. I have canned in all of these jars and not one broke or failed. I use blue jars to store my herbs and I use my zinc lids with those. It really is a treasure.

She’s in Michigan. Wisconsin and Michigan specifically Chicago Chicago were known for bootlegging. It’s how El Capone made much of his money. Don’t forget that one time the United States banned alcohol During that time alcohol was legal in Canada, so there was a lot of bootlegging going around . And a lot of people made it at home. What an easy way to get rid of the evidence if someone suspected you were being a bootlegger.

When I need to wash out jars after emptying them ( meat leaves some tough deposits in the jars ) I found a toilet bowl brush chucked in a 1/2 in cordless drill works well. That’s a round brush with a round handle. A little care required to keep a grip on the jar when the drill is turning and it doesn’t fit every jar. Just cut the brush handle off long enough to reach the bottom of the jar.

My grandma had a root cellar and kept all her empty jars right on the inside. From what you showed that perfect slope looked just like it. My guess is that there was a root cellar there, all the jars were just on the inside, at the entrance. The root cellar might have caved in or been covered by a later owner who didn't know better.ni wouldn't be surprised if you could excavate around it and then carefully dig into it if you would find more treasures. How exciting and what a blessing!!

I think its because of all the small scratches. So i would never trust them to can in after decades in the woods.edit- yours look a lot better than mine when cleaned mine may have been so scratch because of the sandy red clay soil idk but yours when cleaned looks good.
