Found this jar the other day.. I have never seen one like this before. With "The Ball" and only Mason's Patented 1858. Any info, value would help. Thanks! Sorry about the bad pic.
I bought it at a garage sale years ago. It has three old stickers on it. One says "ca 1895- 1905. 20.00- 25.00$ ... Second says Toalouse p 35. Ball bros. Muncie Ind. Third says " Don't Sell". I'm guessing it was in an antique shop at one point years ago and is a rare one. The don't sell tag is what made me think twice. Anyway thanks for the info.
You don't say what size it is, better pics would help! Anything on base? Fairly common 10-15 (the last couple I got I gave 3 each)and I've seen them in antique stores for 50 but they never sell. They date from 1888 - 1893
