Help with another Mason jar

[jolosho]

I have seen the term whittled and I wanted to know if it was referring to this look. If not, how is this described? Is it desirable? Again, I would like to know how to describe it so I can sell it.

Here is another view. I also have 15 lids, some say Boyd's Genuine Porcelain Lined Cap, some Genuine Boyd Cap For Mason Jars, some Genuine Zinc Cap for Ball Mason Jars and some don't say anything. Besides if it fits of not, how does one know which lid goes with which jar? Does the age of the jar make a difference with the lid?

I thought this picture may show it better. It also has another jar with a greenish color. I have not figured this one out. I seems too smooth to be a ground lip and the seam goes to the top. I could not find the logo identified with the B the way it is and I am unfamiliar with the bottom markings.

Here is the bottom. Any help on either of these? Please? I have other pics if desired. I alos have 3 other blue Mason jars I will post later. Thanks for your time. JoAnn

The jar does look like it is very heavily whittled. This is a desirable feature and would increase the jars value. Could you post a picture of the base? If not, is there anything embossed on the base? This could make a difference in the value. I might be interested in the jar. George

Yes that would be described as "whittled" meaning the mold was sort of cold when the glass went in which caused uneven cooling of the glass. as for the greenish jar kinda hard to tell what it is from the photo, sort of looks like a Ball mason #234 in the red book but better pics would help, the base # and marking is just a mold identifier. As to the lids there are certain jars that had come with specific types of lid but for the most part they were interchangeable, again pictures would be helpful as some can be worth good money. The jars are in the 10-20 range perhaps a bit more on a really good day and if someone is looking for it and some people will give more if they are really crude. Hope this helps and good luck

I can't see it but then green is green to me also. Citron, light green, yellow green etc... still greenish but green is generally a good thing.
I can't make the letters out but with the latest pic I'm now thinking quarts?
What's the base show?
Lids are almost always mismatched. Over the years of canning they were swapped around, replaced etc. and were often sold separately anyway so I don't think it's a big deal on these types of jars. If they where HERO cross or some other IDable kind I'd say it would be a definite plus.

I can not quit make out the embossing on the Ball jar. The color is desirable and should bring a decent price. The jar is machine made and should have a smooth (not ground) lip. If you can post a clear picture of the lettering. Is there a defect on the side of the jar? If there is an abnormal feature there, please post a picture of that.

Here is the bottom of the whittled jar.

Can you see this one better? I took it before I read about how to take the photos.
