		<description><![CDATA[Zippo cigarette lighters can be dated very accurately, sometimes down to the month of manufacturer in the newer models, by using the stamps on the bottoms of the lighter.  The hinge type and design can also help to date the earlier models of Zippos.

		<description><![CDATA[If you have some old Ball canning jars laying around, they might all look the same at firsts, but there are ways of determining their approximate age.  Over the years the script/lettering that is embossed on the jars has changed and this can help you pinpoint what era any particular jar is from.

		<description><![CDATA[BlackMarketAntiques.com has just uncovered a large collection of antique glass bottles.  The collection was found in an old local barn.  There are dozens of potato crates full of bottles and hundreds, if not thousands, of old bottles.  So far none of the bottles look to have been dug.
