First, thanks all for having this site here. Have looked it over for a couple of days and am very impressed with the depth and breadth of knowledge I've seen 
I've been kind of collecting canning jars for a while, have one I'd like to show you all but can't get it photographed well enough to post. It's a Ball, I think a quart (9"tall, 4.5" wide at base, 2.5" mouth opening, very light green, bullet-shaped or tapered is the best way I can describe it [in other words, no "shoulder", just a thin seam where the threaded portion was attached - one of the zinc/porcelain lids seems to fit like a glove], on the side "Ball" written in raised cursive script, a "4" and roman "IV" on the base. Will continue to try and photograph it (the cursive script is the part I can't get to show up in the digitals). I bought it at an antique shop over 30 years ago, just curious if I have provided enough info for some kind of identification.
