I need some help identifying and valuing a canning jar that I "rescued" at a flea market yesterday.
The jar is an aqua half-gallon MASON'S / PATENT NOV 30th / 1858 with a monogram which appears to be FJCCo. The base is embossed B274.
The lips on both jars are ground. This half-gallon jar is very crude, having many air bubbles and "straws" in the glass.
This half-gallon is pictured here with a quart jar with similar embossing. This smaller jar is embossed on the base I 103. I've had this quart jar for a long time, but don't know anything about it, either.
Whatever you can tell me about mfr., rarity or value will be appreciated.
