Battery Jars

LisaM

I have a couple of antique blue glass battery jars that came from my father's antique telephone collection. Photos are attached. The round jar is labeled Western Electric New York. The rectangular jar simply says Made In USA. Does anyone have more information on these or have any idea of value? There are no chips or cracks. Thank you for your help.

Thanks for posting.

Battery jars are quite collectible - as for value they typically fall in the $25-100 range. A great place to start with value is to browse eBay auctions which have closed and actually sold (price shown in green)
