need help with value if this thing had been in good shape and not in the condition it is now. It reads mason's + patent nov 30th 1858.

WHAT is the + suppose to mean ? cross?

creeper,I think he meant "and".

Im not sure of the current price,but I think those usually go for $40-$45 dollars with the top and bail wires.

Ah,O.K. ,then if its a miget Mason its worth more I think,with the glass lid seal and tin lid.The Maltese cross is found on the glass lid seal a lot too.

I think this is Red Book #1939, YELLOW pint shoulder seal (ground lip-zink lid) books for $1,000-$1,500, nice crude lettering on that one, COOL jar.

Hi ham man, like diggin stated it looks like #1939 if it is yellow, citron would be unlisted in pint, if hero cross is unlettered it would be #1940 and is unlisted in pint for that color. Warren

That jar would bring a big price if it was intact....
