I have inherited a large collection of mason jars spanning from 1858 to around the 1970's
I am looking to sell these items as a full lot and for this reason I am looking to sell them at a discounted rate.
I don't want to nickel and dime on ebay over a 15 dollar jar because this would involve packaging, shipping ect on my part.

The brands include. And Im sure Im missing some

The collection is about 30 pieces
The brands include:
Kern Glass Top
Kern Self Sealing

Atlas Mason
Atlas Strong Shoulder
Atlas EZ seal

Mason Patent 1858

Lamb Mason

Lightning

Norge

Brockway Clear Vu

Ball Ideal
Ball Perfect Mason
Ball Strong Shoulder

Some are Clear Glass
Others are Blue tinted glass
Various sizes

I know relative prices but willing to ignore this for quick cash

If interested email and I will send you pictures of the full collection

THANKS!!!

Hi and welcome,
I think your expectations are a bit high. The Norge may be in the $10-20 range but most unfortunately are $.50-3 tops. If the Mason cross are midgets, then they may be worth ebay but would need to be mint now-a-days.
It's sad but true.

Yeah, thats basically what I figured. Although this isn't all of them I don't think I have any masterpieces that I know of. Some of the numbered ones maybe someone would be interested in to complete their set, but I'm really not looking to pay off my college loans with these :) Rather just see them go to a collector.
