too many - 5/7/2010 3:29:19 PM    jesster64   Posts: 626 Joined: 2/22/2008 Status: offline went out with the badger 2 weeks ago. I started a hole and wound up in mason jar hell. Must have pulled 20 out. Finally tried reverse psychology and started looking for masons. If you can't beat em...  Here are some of the more interesting ones I thought. They'll probably be in my next garage sale. 25 cents each. Post #: 1

RE: too many - 5/8/2010 3:02:13 PM    woodswalker   Posts: 1048 Joined: 4/13/2010 From: South Haven, Michigan Status: offline Anytime you see the word PERFECT offset to the right of MASON, these were made 1913-1914. There is another type of Ball PERFECT MASON where the word PERFECT is offset quite a bit to the left of MASON (several letters) but this is a reworked DREY PERFECT MASON mould made c1925 when Ball bought out the Schram company that made the Drey jars. I noticed some of yours said perfect mason on them...check this out...you might have some good keepers!! _____________________________ Always enjoy nature to the fullest....what more could we want...birds singing and fresh air....AND Lots of neat stuff to always be found...One mans junk may be someone elses treasure :) (in reply to coreya) Post #: 3

Not as common of a BPM as others.A must for any BALL collector.Thanks for posting.                                                                                                      A.J. _____________________________ I found the Red Road through the valley of the shadow of death....and along the way,found some really cool bottles (in reply to woodswalker) Post #: 4

RE: too many - 5/9/2010 4:05:52 AM    dygger60 Posts: 403 Joined: 2/2/2010 From: Hill town area, New York Status: offline Another thing you may want to check on that BALL PERFECT MASON on the left of the photo....Most of these style jars the word PERFECT is the same size as the word MASON.....now....there is a variation where the word PERFECT is mush smaller. And I agree...they are a must for a Ball jar collector......I myself got a set of the BOYD jars before the change and a set of the Ball jars after the change. The blue BOYD pint with the small letter variation is a tough nut to crack.....usually have to pick them up at a show. And there we have another oddity about these series of jars.....while the blue Ball PM's of this series is a common jar....the BOYD blue pints tough....but....the green BOYD pints are considered common while the green BALL PM's are tough....
