[QUOTE="Dawnno, post: 645447, member: 10171"]Using the top with the bottom like this... [ATTACH=full]183678[/ATTACH] may have caused that: [ATTACH=full]183679[/ATTACH] so it's a clue to what it was used for. Don't know 19th C culture well enough to guess though. It's a working hypothesis. What ever caused those scratches was hard, and repeated. Search for 'wood treenware' and you don't often find an exact use ascribed to the jars. But it has that "apothecary/candy shop" vibe to it, imo.[/QUOTE]
