Hi Smitty, your jars are worth 4 to 10 dollars except the green Lightnings.
If the Lightnings have a strong green as opposed to pale apple green color they could easely be worth $100 or more[] but they must be in realy good shape with good closures. Those of us who collect fruit jars are finicky,fussy,picky,tight wads and will not except chips ,scratches,cracks or damaged closures.[8|]

Hi all,
Yes the lightnings were the ones I thought would be the better of the seven. They are not the darker green and although there are no cracks the bails are rusty.
Thanks I have placed them on my shelf with several other antique food prepartion gizzmoes..
