Hi everyone,
This is my first post to this site although I've been a cheerful lurker for some time!
I recently went to a garage sale and bought a neat old jar I intended to use for a terrarium.
Since them, I've been told it's a rare Mason jar and was hoping someone could tell me if these types of jars were ever really made early this century.
I can't figure out how to upload the picture I took so I'll give a description:
20" tall, clear jar with metal lid
On the front it says: Mason's Patent Nov 30th 1958 with a big star
On the back it has an eagle witch a shield holding arrows and olive branch, with 3 stars on top of it and 4 starts below it.
The top is threaded for a lid but I have no idea if the metal one is original, it just looks old and rusted.
Really I'm happy making it a terrarium but I'm curious to know if jars this size really were made early on.
Thanks in advance!!
