The 1908 patent date is for the glass "ears" in which the bail wire secures. Lots of time you see chipping in these ears...but if your jar is not chipped, then yes a dollar would be a good price. The right to use the 1908 patent date was obtained by Ball Brothers then they purchased a glass company in Penn. It was a worker that patented the now famous date. The quarts are very very common.
