The quarts. The top left jar is a weird size, bigger than a pint but a little smaller than a quart.

I'm about to post some more jars: an Improved Gem, a Royal flip top and some lids. If you know about these, can you give me some more info on the other posts?

I may be wrong but those look very common. If you can find the rubber seals they are suitable for re-use and that's about it.

Most jars with the exception of wax sealers had a rubber ring. That includes glass and band, shoulder seals, lightning seals etc..

Oh. [:)] Everytime I post something here, I learn something new.
I do have a few extra rubber rings from a garage sale. Are any of these jars more valuable than the rest, or are they all the same?

It's hard to say other than to say clear is never a good sign. They are canner's jars only in my opinion. A flea might get you a couple bucks each but that's doubtful.

I didn't pay much for them, maybe 5-6 bucks for all of them, so I'm not that disappointed to learn that they are only worth a couple of bucks each. I'm surprised that the big one and the Imperials are not worth more though.
