Have you tried a standard jar lid on it?

Well, the problem is, I don't even know what that is... [8D][:-]

 

[cyberdigger]

Houston, we have a problem... [&:]

 

[cyberdigger]

The regular zinc lids.. the middle one is a midget, the others are standard size..

Problem #2...

I didn't have a single jar (or lid therefore) until two days ago when I dug these three... [][][:-]

 

[junkyard jack]

That's a very nice jar

 

[Wheelah23]

Hopefully I'll dig a friend for it later today...

Or maybe a lid [:-]

Hey Connor,

While looking for something else, again, I found the "List of Highest valued Ball jars" & this description:

"Ball Mason's N. Patent Nov. 30th 1858 (reverse: Hahne. &. Co. Newark. N.J. (only five or six known jars and that jar has probably the most prolific embossing of any early Ball jar) " From.

Geeze, I can remember when you didn't have a lid, and now you've got a box full. Anyhow, not being a jarhead, I can't quite grasp the whole "N Patent" thing. Do you even still have this jar? Is it an "N Patent?"

 

[Wheelah23]

I ain't got a clue if it's an "N patent". No idea what that is... I ain't a jar guy either.

I sold the jar for a decent price on eBay recently. It will have financed some of my purchases at tomorrow's show...

Hey Connor,

What a teachable moment we have here. Will one of our jar guys do some 'splaining on us?
