The earliest Mason's Patent jars have square shoulders and are referred to as "Crowleytown Mason" & will set you back $400-$600. Jars such as yours that are aqua, with no other markings than what you've stated, sell for $6-$8. Don't give up though, this jar in a great amber or deep green color will sell for the big bucks. Good luck! -Tammy _____________________________ http://www.fruitjarrings.com/ (in reply to Trying not to break it) Post #: 2
