    Crown Mason lid

    I bought a jar the other day that had this lid on it. The zinc lid is in good condition and the glass liner is unbroken and well embossed. If anyone out there needs a matching lid for their Crown Mason RB# 703 let me know.

    Drey pat'd 1920 Improved Ever Seal pint

    I know the Drey jars aren't high dollar jars and not all that collectable but I have an odd one. It is an unlisted RB 834 pint with 1/2 bosses and no neck bead. To top it off it is an unlisted color, light green with amber swirls. I think the neck configuration is the same as RB 300 variation...

    Jar needs tumbleing

    I have a beautiful jar. I paid $15 for it but it is sick. Tried all the cleaning methods I can think of and it still is hazy inside. Last resort is to have it tumbled. It is expensive but on a jar possibly worth $100-200 so it could be worth the cost. Is there anyone in the Tulsa, Oklahoma area...

    Looking for a Tulsa, Oklahoma tumbler

    Is there anyone in the Tulsa, Oklahoma area that does tumbling? I have some jars I am interested in having done but really rather not have to ship them half way across the USA to have them done. Larry

    MICHIGAN MASON

    This pint bead seal MICHIGAN MASON is nicely whittled and full of tiny seed bubbles. Anyone know anything about the Michigan Glass Company that manufactured this jar? And what is it worth? Larry

    Citron fruit jar

    I have seen everything from green to amber listed as being citron. I have a beautiful honey colored MASON quart that has the slightest hint of green. To me it looks citron but reguardless of the color it is unlist in RB9. So what color is it? Larry

    Ground lip S Mason's Patent 1858

    I just got this ground lip half gallon S Mason's Patent 1858 jar. The S is 1 1/4 inches tall and the jar is a deep aqua. The bottom has a B 8 on it. The coolest part about the jar is a candy cane striping (grooves not color) that goes around the jar three times. It looks like the slug of glass...

    Double Error Mason's Patent 1/2 Gal.

    Found this ground lip half gallon Mason's Patent Nov. 30th 1858 jar at a flea market for $4. It has a beautiful deep Ball blue color and is in perfect condition. It is a Red Book #1821. The reversed E is plainly visible and so is the ht after the 30 in the date. The Red Book doesn't mention it...

    Glass Color Identification Online

    If anyone is interested they can go online and see what the color of their jar would be called if it was a glass insulator. It takes a little bit of manipulating of your jar's photo but I found it is quite accurate. The site is: http://glassian.org/Gallery/identify.html When you get there you...

    Green 1858 MASON 1/2 gallon

    Ok guys I am still having trouble with the color to call my jars... RB #9 #1787 ground lip Mason shoulder seal lists several different colors of green jars, Apple green, Yellow green, Olive green, Vaseline, Emerald green, and True green. How in the world does a person make an honest...

    Cornflower Blue?? Mason half gallon jar

    I have a pair of these light blue jars. They are RB #1644, 1/2 gallon jars and identical in markings and color. They are the same color as my Atlas cornflower blue jars but the only blue listed in Red Book #9 is aqua for these jars. Tell me is this aqua or cornflower blue? Is this a rare variation?

    Quart Barrel design jar

    I found a barrel design quart jar, hoops, slats, and the works. Looks just like a little clear glass barrel. It has a bead seal mason type closure and takes a common zinc fruit jar type lid. The only markings on the jar are a number 2 on one side of the base and a B in a circle on the other side...

    Ok guys, what's this jar worth? This is a ground lip, aqua quart. The bottom of the jar has a 4 and a couple of dots (vent holes). On the front the first line has a crude cross, second line MASON'S, third line a large S, fourth line PATENT, and the fifth line 1858. The back of the jar is...

    Monday morning Ball Masson

    Here is one of the worst engraving jobs I have ever seen on a Ball jar. It is a Ball 3L MASON aqua quart. The A and S in MASON are joined and all the lettering is sloppy and crooked. MASON is all hand engraved and slopes down to the right..

    Macon Pottery Fruit Jar

    I found an interesting quart crockery fruit jar this past weekend. The bottom is stamped MACON POTTERY CO, MACON IL, PAT'D SEPT 24, 1899. It is a white crock with a threaded neck that takes a standard fruit jar lid. It is in excellent shape and on the inside you can see where they joined the...

    Unusual Ball Mason

    As I am new to collection jars I hope you all will be easy on me. I have a question about a quart jar I saw last weekend at a flea market. The jar was a common dropped-A shoulder seal Ball Mason except it didn't say Ball. The A had no top loop and formed a perfect U. All the embossing was...

    Ground lip Ball half gallon

    Here is a jar I got this weekend. I can't find it in Red Book #9 so I am guessing it is unlisted, unless I am reading the book wrong again. It is a half gallon, ground lip, shoulder seal. On the front it has four lines of writing, first underlined Ball in script, under that is arched MASONS...

    Robert Gibson's Tablets

    Found this big jar and I am wondering is it old or worth anything? The jar is 12 1/2 inches tall and 4 1/2 wide. It is "Ball" blue and the bottom likes kind of like the Ball Bingham Machine fruit jars and is unmarked. Side mold seams fade out and don't go up to top of jar. The inscription on the...

    Found two Ball jars from same mold.

    What are the odds of finding two old Ball 3-L Mason 1/2 gallon jars made from the same mold? I don't mean the same mold number, I mean the same mold. I have two 1/2 gallon jars in two different colors, one green and one blue from the same F. C. Ball Machine mold. The mold hadn't been reworked...
