Like the improved this ball jar has a ring that pressed a glass disc to seal the jar. This ball special was only made for a few years from 1910-1913. One of my favorites. It is also clear.

The logo style says this jar was made after 1933. The "Special" line was dropped during WWII, and after that was made in a rounded square shape only. So, the correct date is 1933 - 1941.

I wasn't sure of the date so did the dumbest thing possible and did a Google search. Still my mistake either way you look at it.

When I Googled Ball special they talk about ones made in the mid 1890s that had Masons pat 1858 printed on them. They mention the 1910-1913 embossed Ball special . I thought that must be this one. No mention of any other year Ball special. I forgot to check the Ball font which I know is a way to date them. Lazy and crazy...sorry to all the people I confused and probably am confusing right now.
