Jars,
made of very heavy and bulky glass, gallon size, I think they were,
for many common house beverage staples, such as milk and juice.
Often the big heavy jars were placed out on the porch, in small metal boxes. For home deliveries by the "Milkman" and also for cool storage.

and in the late 60's and 70's, it became a lot less cool, or accepted practice, for people to just toss trash while outdoors anyplace.

Your note made me smile. Is it the type that truly cracks open the hardest of nut shells, or the decorative type that you have?
I remember the activity, of people enjoying having whole nuts, and working at them till they got them open, and pulling out the bits inside, small morsel rewards for the time and efforts, and also was entertaining for children to watch the adults do, for them.

@chic It's fun to see those and to be reminded of them. I remember some that had multiple little gripper tongs, in place of those , to insert in the cobs, that were safer for children and others.
Note: This is an A - Z game, but possibly just put "Several" in front of corn cob holders, so it can be the S.

Vests were once so popular, in many different styles, and for both girls and boys , and women and men....
Some were very dapper, for the men, remember? And so many types for females, back when the clothing styles differed more, between the genders.
Remember the crocheted vests, with large square holes and tied in the front?
They were quick and fun projects to make, and then, could be worn, proudly.
