Only says Mason

[ashleybecker22]

My husband and I recently bought about 400 canning jars from an old woman who caould no longer can. (We have a huge garden that we are preserving). Anyway, most of the jars are basic newer Ball and Kerr jars. But we have come across some Atlas, Lamb, Square G, a couple bicentennial and Magic Mason jars. I was able to find some info on most of them online. But we canned in one last night and I can't seem to find any pics or info of a jar like this online. It is a bit hard to see since there is marinade in the jar. But it simply says MASON on the side no brand name or other markings. On the bottom is a number 16 in a circle. These are the only markings on the jar. Anyone have any Ideas on it? Well i cant get the pic to load right now. But has anyone come across a jar as i discribed?

There are a fairly large number of collectible jars with just the word MASON embossed. Without a picture it is impossible to give you any definitive information about age, collectibility or value. I am guessing that is what you are asking about. Try downsizing the picture but not too far and try loading again.

trace out the embossing with a black marker, then take a picture of the jar and post it.
