Large Root Mason Jar, RARE version?

[STAYGOLD]

Hello,I bought this a few years ago at a local estate sale and had a dealer tell me that it was a rare version having had the period at the end of the word "Mason". I have no background in bottle or jar collecting, although I have quite a few of them, I just pick them up here and there and display them on the shelf. I guess my question is, can anyone verify if this is some sort of rare jar? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Maybe scarce, but not rare. The Redbook values it at about $30.

The one thing that would make it worth WAY more would be to have the zinc lid marked Root. Does it have that? It's about a million-to-one chance I think. - Tammy
