Just bought two vintage jars (huge they look like pickle barrels) to feel
with all the thread spools I have collected.
My mom collects eye cups and moustache cups. Your jars that look like pickle barrels are probably antique or collectible pickle jars. I have a lot of them in all sizes and shapes. And they do look like a glass pickle barrel. I have some that are tall and skinny and some that are squat and round etc. I love the look of them. Do yours have any handles? My two biggest ones have handles and a couple of the middle size ones do too.
I would love to see a pic of your Pickle Jars. I keep flour in one of my biggest ones and sugar in the other. I keep powdered sugar in one of the middle sizes and colored macaroni in one. I use a lot of mine as canisters for various food items.
