Yoke clamp fruit jar info?
« on: May 16, 2015, 05:54:40 am »
Trying to find any info on this jar. The lid is marked Patent June 11 1895, the clamp is marked Patent June 2 18?2. Have yet to find a photo of this jar on the web. Any ideas?

I don't think it's a fruit jar, but rather a "Museum / Specimen" jar.

What is frustrating is that so many place put the date they applied for the patent instead of the actual authorized patent date on their items.  Agree, have searched and haven't found another yoke clamp like yours - they generally have a screw through the yoke.

Also, when these were filed for they went by so many different names (no standard name/description).  Closure, clamp, lid tightener, etc.

still looking....

My “biology” thinking mind told me that is what it was when I first saw the picture.

Biological specimens are not only stored in glass jars but they are often taken out of said jar, studied, and then put back in the same jar in the same liquid, … liquid that one doesn’t want evaporating or leaking out, thus the thumb-screw tighten’er.

This one is so unique in that most others have the screw go through the yoke.
