History
My dad, who is 92, used to visit his grandmother as a small boy, in the late 1920's and his grandmother always had cookies in this jar. Then it became the property of his mother. When she passed on, it was then passed onto my parents and now it is mine. I have had it several years and recently have a great interest in it and a few other items.
