Jar lids and inserts - 2/2/2012 9:22:24 PM    Wheelah23 Posts: 4296 Joined: 8/9/2010 From: Glen Ridge, New Jersey Status: offline Am I being too generous with these? I plan to slap a "$1 box" sign on the box and hope for the best. Are these lids, with their inserts, worth any more than that? They have "BALL" in a script on the top. Some of the inserts are Boyd's, some are unembossed, etc. Attachment (1) _____________________________ Looking for bottles from Glen Ridge, Montclair, Bloomfield, Orange, East Orange, West Orange, South Orange, and if I like 'em, any other bottles from Essex County NJ!

I buy them when I see them for this price....the style of the embossing on the top will tell the time period they were made...... The oldest of the Ball Brothers zinc lids will be blank on top but will have GENUINE ZINC CAP FOR BALL MASON JARS embossed on the outer rim of the porceline insert...... I have a picture that shows these embossings...I will look for it and get it on here for you and others for a reference......myself, for my oldest Ball jars I like to get a correct period lid for them...

Thats what I usually see them for. I know a guy at a flea market down here that sells them to me at $0.50 each, but thats about as cheap as I've seen them, except at a yard sale now and then _____________________________ Looking for fruit/mason jars, any Bainbridge, Chillicothe, Hillsboro, Greenfield or Toledo Ohio bottles, items from Shurts Dairy in Mason, Ohio, as well as anything from the C.S.

Some of them are embossed, others are not. The embossed insert variations I have are embossed (mostly circularly around the periphery): "GENUINE PORCELAIN LINED MASON CAP 24" "BOYD'S GENUINE PORCELAIN LINED CAP" (has a "7" in the center) "GENUINE BOYD CAP/ FOR MASON JARS" "(diamond mark)GENUINE ZINC CAP(diamond mark)/ FOR BALL MASON JARS" All are milk glass. Any of 'em rare, or worth more than $1?

That one on eBay is a lot nicer than mine. That one's got the lug on it, and the insert is different. _____________________________ Looking for bottles from Glen Ridge, Montclair, Bloomfield, Orange, East Orange, West Orange, South Orange, and if I like 'em, any other bottles from Essex County NJ!
