Some nice jars we dug last weekend.

Had a great jar dig last week behind a stone wall of a friends house. Some nice clean jars. The first is a mint Electric, ground lip quart.

Quart 1858 Masons with embossed shield in back, ground lip with original dug cap. I don't know much about jars, if the experts would help id these, and date them, that would be great. Hope to hear from you guys.

A couple of Ball jars. Older Ball logo on left jar - this is a nice light green color. Blue Ball mason on right.

Pint Atlas Strong Shoulder Mason with original dug lid. Appreciate any information on any of these jars. Thanks

Looks like quite an age range, nice stuff. Nice lids, to bad the rest of the Electric wasn't there.

I agree...nice jars....the World is great.....finding the correct lid should not be too hard....but the clamp may be a different story......

That light green BALLL jar is great.....nice find...

ruccello,
I don't have my book handy,so I'm going on memory[8|].
The "ELECTRIC" is a nice jar and hit's around the C-note now-a-days,but that's with the correct lid and clamp.My guess about your jar as is..25-40.
Your "MASON'S PATENT" around the $20.00 mark.
The pt,ATLAS is a common jar and only fetches a few bucks.(I use them for change and marbles).
The BALL jar is also a fairly common jar,but your BALL MASON looks like an acquired mold jar.I'm not really up on the ball jars(that's a whole chapter in itself)
I have one with that mold variation in clear(SCA) and really had no problem shelling out about $50.00 bucks for it.
Hope that helps or at least stimulates more replies. Anthony-J.

The Ball jars are nice.....my choice would be the one on the left....the light green #197.

The book lists it as $8-10 but probably could get more.... not a common color.

Hey thanks you guys, appreciate the info. Any idea on the date range for these jars? I was guessing 1890 - 1920. Does that sound about right?
