Ball Mason's 1858 Patent Jar with Moon Star on front of jar

It currently does not have the correct lid. It is just a plain Ball Zinc Lid. Do you know if the lid was glass or zinc? I see the photo above that is zinc, but I thought I saw a glass one as well. I am for sure going to be looking to get one to match this. That is kind of neat what they go for...

Ball Mason's 1858 Patent Jar with Moon Star on front of jar

The perfect mason jars were all blue. No killer colors unfortunately. I just wanted ones with the same script mine already had. I was happy to come across this one. This is a neat site that I am definitely going to be visiting. Thanks!

Ball Mason's 1858 Patent Jar with Moon Star on front of jar

The lid I have is not original to the jar. I am going to keep my eyes out for a matching lid. I thought I saw a glass lid with the star and moon as well when I was trying to find out info on my jar. I really don't know that much about jars yet. I am excited to learn more.

Ball Mason's 1858 Patent Jar with Moon Star on front of jar

I got this jar with 11 other Ball Perfect Mason Jars in a lot at an auction. I didn't even notice the markings on this jar when I was bidding on the lot. I was actually just interested in one Perfect Mason to add to the others that I have. When I was going through all of them I noticed this one...

Ball Mason's 1858 Patent Jar with Moon Star on front of jar

I recently came across a Ball Mason's Patent Nov 30th 1858 jar. Ball is on the back of the jar and the rest is on the front of the jar. Above the word Mason's is a Moon and a Star with beams surrounding them. I've never seen anything like this before and thought it was kind of neat. It has the...
