Identify very large bottle

historic

Hi

I have a very large bottle. It is 10 5/8 inches in diameter. The inner diameter of the mouth is 4 3/8 inches. 1930 and a 62 is embossed on the bottom. There is also something lightly embossed in the center in the shape of a diamond and something in the center of it but it's too light to tell what it is. There is also a wire handle that attatches just below the threads. It has a wooden hand grip.

It's a pickle or bulk food jar and may very well date from around 1930. I have one about that size with lid, handle but it is barrel shaped and has faux-barrel staves and embossed decoration.

Yours is plain but still worth a bit for decorative use..maybe just to fill with coins! Figure $10-20 dollars (empty) Filled with coins ??? :)
