Milk Glass Jar

While digging the trench to the curb to replace the waterline we unearthed this milk glass mentholatum jar. It is stamped with The Yucca Company logo from Wichita, Kansas. I found a similar jar on Ebay going for about $6, so that was a bit disappointing, but then I googled the company and came up with this cool old photo of the company that manufactured the product. They manufactured the mentholatum from 1889 to 1909 when the company was dissolved. Which in turn, predates the building of our house
