Coming to you from Doc's Crocks is this wonderful Stoneware Canning Jar made for "Alp Rose Strawberry Preserves, John Sexton & Co., Chicago, ILL." 
 
The canner was made by Weir of Monmouth, Illinois.  The lid is so marked and it is one of the forms that Weir made while in operation from 1899 to 1906 (Jim Martin and Bette Cooper, Monmouth-Western Stoneware, pp. 28-33).
