Antique Cold Packed Corn in a Ball Sure-Seal Glass Jar, Circa 1918
Antique Cold Packed Corn in a Ball Sure-Seal Glass Jar, Circa 1918. Extraordinary relic from the early 20th century showcasing a World War I innovation in food preservation- the cold packed canning method. Encased are four ears in a Ball Sure-Seal glass jar with an intact rubber seal. Lovingly passed down through generations, this 106 year old heirloom was purchased from the great grandson of the preparer, Robert Ware Stone. Original handwritten label on the front reads, “Canned Cold Pack Method 1918 RW STONE,” with a portion of the label left illegible. Not suitable for consumption but perfect as an oddity in a kitchen, restaurant or store display.
