Hi:
There are some intriguing looking wide-mouth, glass carboys with lids and
carrying straps here: https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.beveragefactory.com_draftbeer_home-2Dbrew_SD-2D&d=CwIFaQ&c=-dg2m7zWuuDZ0MUcV7Sdqw&r=CLFZJ3fvGSmDp7xK1dNZfh6uGV_h-8NVlo3fXNoRNzI&m=PFB811-TJe3Qw30-B0XWp2JbSP5hCkOXaoCOmLjr1rU&s=CBloLwj5TikMnWuv4UK7R3GBRfb5PKkdBnKHtxj63Ng&e=
7340J-glass-jar.html The openings are about 5 1/4" inside and 5 1/2"
outside. The opening is sized close to the mouths of the 2, 3 and 5 gallon
glass pails many of us purchased in the past. The glass pails take the
132-400 finish lids.
A few years ago, I saw this gallon jar (largest shown in this set) or one
very similar to it for sale (now apparently discontinued) at a local store
- https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.walmart.com_ip_Anchor-2DHocking-2DCracker-2DJar-2Dwith-2D&d=CwIFaQ&c=-dg2m7zWuuDZ0MUcV7Sdqw&r=CLFZJ3fvGSmDp7xK1dNZfh6uGV_h-8NVlo3fXNoRNzI&m=PFB811-TJe3Qw30-B0XWp2JbSP5hCkOXaoCOmLjr1rU&s=_r3Q16el7LNtw6n9qRCz7rPLXWlhY55myzA-1qc8XRk&e=
Lid/16520333#Item+Description The same set appears to be shown on the
Anchor Hocking site - https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.anchorhocking.com&d=CwIFaQ&c=-dg2m7zWuuDZ0MUcV7Sdqw&r=CLFZJ3fvGSmDp7xK1dNZfh6uGV_h-8NVlo3fXNoRNzI&m=PFB811-TJe3Qw30-B0XWp2JbSP5hCkOXaoCOmLjr1rU&s=b4jwuKsOYF3Q1J-nDGR1VJsx0lkFJIDTndmh2lp4poI&e=
/prodd_5623_cat_260_cracker_jar_set.html At that time, the jar had a
120mm opening. It was not as tall at the original, stock 120 mm gallon
jars that we purchased before they were discontinued in glass. The AH jar
was squarish with rounded corners and seemed like a good size for coiled
snakes, turtles, wide-bodied fish as well as multiples of smaller
specimens. The jar had an embossed but tasteful design on the exterior.
We don't use this type of jar in our collection but have a couple
of examples we received with gift collections. It seems like this might be
one of the few glass gallon jars left with an 120mm. opening.
Sincerely,
Alan
