Great jar.....and yes Ball Brothers made....there is several variations of the Hahne jar....the ones that I have sold have all gone for over $100...

A real tough jar to get in this variation is an embossed star on the base.....

There is also a quart variation...the really gets some money.......

Again, great find.....

Really nice jar, try some Bkf and steel wool on the rust, I have had some recent success with this combo. Let me know if any Hero jars start appearing! --Joe

Some of it was dug. The dump is so huge, that now I've finally found a part that wasn't dug, and that's where all the good finds have come from. I think I'll clean the bottle better tomorrow, and post a better picture of it.

Ok... Just one last question... []

If I wanted to keep this jar, what kind of lid do I need for it? And did it take an insert? Anybody have the lid needed for it? []

 

[Wheelah23]

Here are some better pictures.

I'd say it is 99% mint, and better than you could ever hope for in a dump dug bottle. I don't know how this thing stayed underground 100+ years without a scratch. Of the entire surface, inside and out, I estimate 2% shows any sign of being buried, and that's only an incredibly minor stain above the "M" and the last "S" in Mason's. I guess I can get lucky in this dump sometimes: finally a great bottle in great condition! [8D]

other side

 

[Wheelah23]

The weird texture of the glass (especially the lip) is probably due to the fact that is was made on an early semi automatic Ball machine.

 

[Wheelah23]

The base doesn't have a typical machine scar, I think this mark is peculiar to early Ball made jars.

So what lid does this take? [&:]

Have you tried a standard jar lid on it?
