Mason's Fruit Jar RB 1666? - 2/20/2008 1:59:39 PM    jinxxy3   Posts: 17 Joined: 2/18/2008 Status: offline Hi all... Going through my jars and came across this one.  RB 9 #1666 shows Mason's Fruit Jar (two lines, arched "Mason's") in a quart aqua or #1665 Mason Fruit Jar (two lines, arched Mason, without the 's).  Mine is Mason's Fruit Jar (two lines, arched Mason's) clear pint.  Is this not listed?  Which would I go by.  I don't have RB 10, so if anyone has it and can look to see if it's listed in the new edition or has any other info, I would appreciate it. The jar is in pretty good condition, has a ground lip and two distinct seams.  The base is well indented, maybe half an inch or so, with a 2.  Some small bubbles and just a few minor chips around the top. Thanks! K Attachment (1) Post #: 1

Sounds like a good question for Bob Clay. Joel < Message edited by epgorge -- 2/20/2008 2:19:01 PM > _____________________________ (in reply to jinxxy3) Post #: 4

He knows the Mason jars as well as anyone I know. I do know there are many minor differences in many jars and we see 'unlisted' jars all the time. The Redbook is a work in progress; continually being updated from edition to edition. As soon as this edition (RB10)was printed, Doug was likely already planning the next update. Maybe that might be a good thread somewhere here for inclusion in future editions of the Redbook. "Jars Unlisted in Redbook 10". We have a section for that on our Ball jar site and it seems to be a good way to assimilate new reports.  Bob (in reply to epgorge) Post #: 5
