We happened across this one by a wrong turn in a town even smaller than the one where I live And there, under a table in the garage were these three wonderful crates filled with some "collectable" ones I can't use (wire bale type) for canning, but some nice 1/2 gallon ones (for pantry storage), a few nice vintage ones, and prolly 2 dozen realtively modern wide mouth quarts or pints. And since we were already paying for the gas for the drive.... it felt kinda like Christmas

A real find, for sure! Half gallons, too! I really want to make the time to hit the local garage/estate sales, town-wide yard sale days, etc. this year in hopes of finding jars and hopefully a pressure canner...I can dream...
