Heads up: the booth at the Hartville flea market had fake "vintage" labels on new jars last Saturday
Honestly I almost got burned at the Hartville flea market last Saturday and want to save someone else the trip. A vendor had a row of what looked like old blue mason jars priced at $18 each, but the glass felt way too smooth and two of them had the exact same seam line. I flipped one over and the bottom had a modern date code stamped on it, 2023, not the old style numbers. Turns out the lids were newer reproductions too, and the rust was painted on with something that rubbed off on my thumb. The guy next to me bought three before I could say anything and I felt bad, but he was gone by the time I looked up. Ngl this is the second time this summer I've seen dressed up fakes at that market, so what's your go to trick for spotting fake vintage glass before you pay?
