I need to get pics up but I found an early Boyd in the same hole of my Triumph. I cannot find much on it however ir is much cruder than most boyd/ball jars. Greener tint, lots of bubbles and verticle mold lines on inside of mouth. I've read all up on the sale of Boyd to Ball but any info or pics would be appreciated. I will try to get mine up soon.

The Boyd's range from 1873 to 1930 with several different manufacturers such as 1- Illinois glass co, Alton Illinois 2- Illinois Pacific Glass Co. San Francisco 3- Greenfield Fruit jar & bottle Co. Greenfield Indiana 4- And of course The Ball Corp which aquirred it in 1909. All of this depends on which style of Boyd's jar or a Boyd jar you have.
