Found several canning jar listings in Betty Zumwalt's book 19th century food in glass 1980

"BUNTE CHICAGO" embossed K.G. on base, clr jar,glass lid, wire clamp

"BUNTE BROS. CHICAGO" ---same---

"BUNTE ESTABLISHED CHICAGO 1876"
"KIVLAN, ONTHANK, BOSTON" (on base)

All listed as common canning jars $2-3 dollars. Company listed mostly as wholesale confectioners from 1874 thru 1910.

Not sure if his applies to your jars but is some info I found in any case.

Redbook #9 (2001), lists two different Bunte jars (#535 & #536), as candy jars w/embossed glass lids "World Famous Candy" (2-diff lid embossments known). Approximately 24 sizes exist, valued from $10-$20. Watch for those lids!
