    I got these at the local flea market this morning. Made by the Victor company and are stamped with a white "V". They're 6" tall and have a bottom diameter of 5 1/4" They weigh 5 pounds each. They caught my eye because I've never seen one like these before. I'm not an insulator collector, but I do have a couple glass ones because I like the way they look. The guy wanted $5 each for them. I was almost ready to buy one and then he told me that if I'd take them all that I could have them all for $10. Deal! He must've been tired of lugging them around. Might anyone know about how old they are?

      I didn't know if it would help, but thought it might get you started.
      Do yours have any of the markings listed?
    4. jonima jonima, 12 years ago
      They're marked with the first one: a V in a box with no other marking around it.
