Rare Ball Jar
Amazing. Only second example I've seen in all my years of collecting. Been looking out for one hoping to uncover an example collecting dust somewhere but no luck yet. Sent from my moto g stylus (2021) using Tapatalk- Nickolas_

Old Ball Jar
Your jar isn't one converted from a Ball mason but altered from the DREY PERFECT MASON after Ball bought the company. One of the few Dropped A non underscore jars to find. Look close at your embossing you should see ghosting of the DREY and maybe the long tailor the Y under Ball. Sent from my...- Nickolas_

58 and 1858
They are out there but you have to look around and be patient. Most are in collections and show up on auctions. I had around a dozen at one time with midgets and pints mixed but all got sold but two. I was forced to sell my jars back in 08 when I list my job. Some I'll never get back for being...- Nickolas_

First mason jar I've dug. ID help?
Some of these can be found with -Atlas- at the top above Mason. I'd say around the turn of the century 1900 to 1909. Around 1910 the bead seal jars started replacing shoulder seal jars. Sent from my moto g(6) forge using Tapatalk- Nickolas_
