They are original but not old, sold empty in craft stores or may have held tea, herbs, etc.

Really impressed. I thought they were old because the rubber seal is way dry. Hey at least they are original  No no!

A little Tip on the seals   white seals are used on most of the newer jars. Older jars will have a red seal that hold up much better. The white will break down in a short time if displayed in direct sun light

 You said you were getting some of this stuff at thrift stores and that is fine I buy a lot from thrift shops and resale at the shop but sometimes their pricing is way out of line. I have seen figurines for sale for 2.99 that came from the dollar tree last month. I suggest that you take a afternoon and visit the Dollar Tree and other dollar stores and discount stores in your area. It will keep  you from making some bad buys. Thrift store hunting is just another form of treasure hunting and the man with the most info will always come out ahead.

Got it!  Great It is very true and some thrift stores also overprice items they perceive as vintage because they know there are treasure hunters out there. I bought of those jars at 65% discount, but I admit some are not even worth a fraction of a dollar.

It's all about that moment when metal that hasn't seen the light of day for generations frees itself from the soil and presents itself to me.
