Hi
I am not very savy on what year jars are are there worth but I do have alot of different ball mason and other interesting old bottles.but this mason jar I only have one of and have never seen one like it.It stands 9 inches tall very light blue coler very crude as in the feel (when you put your hands around it you can feel its not perfectly round) and has many bubbles even long ones. it has a rough ground lip but i also see that the seem(that you can feel on the outside of the jar ) goes through the neck to the top. But what I have never seen is above MASONS PATENT NOV 30th 1858 (which is barely embosed on jar ) and reads.... THE BALL JAR.
Maybe there are alot of these and i just havnt looked in the right place .thank you for any replies
