A tough to find Ball Mason

[idigjars]

Hello All. This is my newest acquisition. I had another one of these years ago and traded it and wished I didn't. Now I have another one. Redbook 235. Good luck to all buying or digging items for your collections. Best regards. Paul

Those are not easy jars to find....in fact down right almost impossible.....and if ya do...it will cost ya a pretty penny......fantastic jar.....

I would have loved to pull something like that on a dig.....very nice...congrats on that addition.

Hello Dygger60. I didn't dig this but am sure glad to have it.

Another good Ball jar I had years ago was a blue Ball Perfection half pint. Always wish I never got rid of that one either.
Maybe I will find another one of those one of these days also? You never know. I sure never expected to find one of these upside down embossed Ball Mason's again either.

Take care all and good luck finding or digging items for your own collections. Paul

Great jar, I'd love to find one some day. Were these jars ever on tractors or chicken waterers or is that just a myth?
