The jar in picture #6500 would quite likely have a bottom like this one. There seems to be some uncertainty as to whether P C Flett & Co of Kirkwall ever made jam commercially, but they certainly had their label on jam-jars (and now on T-shirts etc).

Fletts Jam factory was in Liverpool but was detroyed during WWII. My father worked there when he left school. Not sure of the address though but somewhere in my garage I have a wooden 12" ruler with their details embossed onto it. I will report any further details.

my mum worked in Fletts jam factory Liverpool before the war. She said it was in Everton Valley.

very strange I recently found the exact same broken piece of a fletts jam jar in deeply vale valley near bury lancashire. i will try and put a picture up

Have today, in my garden in Pendeen in West Cornwall, dug up a complete jar with the same logo and writing on its base!

I have a complete one of these, identical but the complete pot. It was dug up when digging footings under a 100 year old house in Blackwood Gwent. The stamp on the bottom is identical and has what looks like a chicken in the centre

Just turned over a pot I keep pens in and same as jar mentioned. My husband dug it up in Wales 20 odd years ago. Are they worth anything?

I have one of these complete jars mentioned. Found it in one of my farm fields on Anglesey earlier this year (2016)

Ive just found a fletts jar in good condition at a old derelict house in wrexham

Dug up County Durham 2019.Different base marking, lacking the pictorial mark, and no evidence of paper label. Pot had the line marking on outside similar(not identical) to that shown in image.

My mother who is 99 was born and bred in Crosby, Liverpool and we reminisce a lot, her cousin's husband owned a timber merchant and during the war they provided minute nibs of wood to be put in the raspberry jam as a substitute for the seeds!!!!!! Worrying!!!!

On the 1921 census it shows that both my grandparents (mothers parents) worked at Flett’s Jam Factory in Everton Vally.

I have a whole one too - dug up in garden on The Lizard, Cornwall

W H Flett Ltd was a large business in Liverpool, founded by William Heddle Flett, born in Stromness in 1830
