Hopefully someone will snatch these off the market and tuck them away in the attic after they are restored. Who knows what Red Old Mills will be worth in 50-60 years. I suspect that the admitted trimming will dissuade some bidders. Also available from this seller though, is a vintage 1993 Heinz horseradish jar, which could be used for storing these gems, if the new owner decides not to have them graded. With combined shipping on these two items my temptation to place a bid is increasing. Is it against the rules to post horseradish jars in the November pick up thread, if it contains Red Old Mills? 
Auction ends in one hour, I need answers now. Believe me, I can't make this up.

I am just trying to envision the artistic process. Imagine the seller, bag of rich, black potting soil at hand, admiring his crease-work and turning to his better half (she'd have to be better, wouldn't she?) and asking, "Hon, do these look a hundred years old to you?".
In order to stay competitive in the cutthroat world of condiment collectables, a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do........
