    the first appears to be #1989 in the red book, the second looks like a # 1920 according to " the fruit jar works" most ground lip jars are pre 1900 and made by various makers.

    Ground vs Factory Sealing Surfaces

    Post some pictures and someone will be glad to ID them, BTW I only use red book 12 and lower as well as " the fruit jar works 1 & 2" as in 13 there have been from my understanding a bunch of jars removed.

    Michigan Mason fruit jar

    I would stick with red book 12 as the later additions have eliminated some of the more common jars or so I've been told. One caveat is that jar collecting is addictive and you may end up like some of us with rooms full of jars. :rolleyes:

    Help with value, age canning jars

    You dont mention the size but it could be in the #1972 range of the red book listings, looks like a ghosted "trademark reg patented " but hard to see from your pics. made from the 1915's when the patent was issued into the 30's or 40's. A fairly common jar

    Ball wire close jar error identification

    If it is a pint could be a # 213-2 the description reads "wire upside down" or it could be a "monday jar" (mold engraver still hung over) will have to check some of mine as I think I have a couple somewhere. better pic of whole jar along with size would help.
