Mason Jar Question

[sha11s]

Hi,
Is this a common Mason? While I am not a jar guy per se, I have not seen one like this before. The bottom of the jar has 44 on it. Any input is most appreciated.
Thanks,
Scott

Looks like a pretty common one # 1633 in the red book $8 - 15 (but less in the real world) depending if qt or 1/2 gal and color.

Coreya,
Thank you very much for that info. I suppose the Red Book would be quite a useful thing for me to own for future reference

Thanks,
Scott

Most appreciated Wangan! It is being put on my list to Santa ASAP!

Sure, you could get the new one direct from the Leybournes site for $40 or you could get an old version for about $100 here

Hmmmmm... That is a real tough choice I am going to have to make. Yet another funny one to be found on Amazon. ABE Books is another that is good for a chuckle or two.

It's a shephard's hook mason. They are not all that common. The maker remains unknown to this day, according to a giant fruit jar identification book I checked out from the library once.
