The Evelyn Packing Co. operated out of New York City and packed imported herring under the Kingfish Brand label in the first half of the 20th century. The Maryland Glass Company maker's mark on the base places this jar's manufacture between the 1920s and 1940s — a narrow and traceable production window that makes it a reliable collector dating reference.
