Need help to identify these lids.

I believe the Ball blue lid is a Sun Moon Star insert, but the embossing is very weak. I have a Sun Moon Star insert in Ball blue with the same diamond shape just like yours and have heard of one other. Typically the mold marks are numbers or small dots on Sun Moon Star inserts, but sometimes...

Mystery Jar Covers

I'm not sure on the aqua lid. It strikes me as a Trademark Canada Compass insert, but someone else would know better.

Mystery Jar Covers

Unpriced Jar

Nice jar - They are less common than the version without the dot, but are available. I think unpriced usually means that there wasn't enough information available on past sales to properly assign a value range. I don't recall off hand what the Redbook 11 says. $25 or a little more seems...

Favorite Jar for June 2015

One of my favorite jars is one that I got when I first started collecting more seriously. Now I've got many more midget pints, but this one means the most to me. It's got lots of bubbles and a really nice lid (CFJCo). Mason's Patent Nov. 30th 1858 with reverse Hero's Cross.[attachment=Midget...

Pint Lightning jar question

I am curious if "reproduction" is the correct term here. It's really just a jar, right? It isn't reproducing or faking a known jar.

Pint Lightning jar question

Alright, I was going to avoid this thread but I can't help it. I won't say that this jar IS or IS NOT a repro. All I'll say is that this jar looks wrong to me for the following reasons: 1. This jar matches the description of a known repro with the exception of the ground lip. There are...

Please Help ID Grandma's collection
