I'm still having a hard time picturing it. I just filled this Atlas to the top. It measures outside about 4" at base, 3" at top (not the actual opening) and 4 1/2 tall. One quart left about 9 1/2 ounces in my 1 quart filler. [attachment=DSCF2168.jpg]

Correction, all the way to the top is 18 oz., not 22.5. That leaves room for the airspace needed for canning.This time I used an actual measuring cup, not something I thought was a quart. No wonder my coffee comes out weak in the morning. [:D]

Tom is right, this jar is a squatty quart. Tammy is correct also, they only came in half gallon or quart sizes. I will settle for the green aqua color. It is good to know that!! The black ink was on it when I won it at the auction. Marker ink is very difficult to remove, the best remover is the ink remover that comes with a printer ink refill kit. I am hoping that Bert can find the correct insert for it.Sorry Jim , I will have to stop abbreviating ...[:D]Eric, the pictures are size deceiving. [8|]thx for the comments.

Next to a midget pint Mason's. I filled it up with water to the bottom thread line , it measured 30 ounces so a quart size it is. [attachment=IMG_3158.JPG]

Diamond Glass of Montreal produced glass in greenish aqua (tending towards green), bluish aqua (tending towards blue) and clear. I once dug up a mint clear lid and treasured it because the monogram is so artistically done, as are the monograms on the jars themselves. My hunch is that these jars were produced with the extra wide mouths to appeal to the home-canning market for large/whole fruit and vegetables. I also think that Diamond Flint Glass, who succeeded Diamond Glass, continued production of these jars. When Dominion Glass was organized and Diamond Glass was subsumed into Dominion, these wide-mouths seem to have been replaced by the "Best" line of wide-mouths in Dominion's four-part jar line to appeal to all public tastes in type of seal: Crowns (outside-seal lids), Gems (inside-seal lids), Perfect Seals (wire-bale lids) and Bests (extra wide-mouths).

Interesting, though I have a few jars and lids, I never got into heavy collecting. My best one is a quart New York jar embossed on an angular scroll lettered "THE CLYDE"
