I like balljars have a bunch. Have a telephone jar and a couple of lightning jars but i never saw a ball jar with ball written straight across. Slanted is the norm i believe. I love it! Very cool.

There are so many variations of some of these jars that it would be near impossible to catalog every one (would need a book the size of the old table dictionary's and then some) You might check this Ball site Ball jar collectors There is not a lot of activity but loads of info there.

Beautiful jar a lot of them early jar seem to have a whole lot of whittling to them. From what I've read the whittling was caused from a cold mold earlier in the mornings as the mold warmed up the glass got smoother. Don't think I've seen a whole lot of smoother earlier ball jars

So was that a clear jar that was sun treated?. From what I've read pre 1910 clear jars were pretty rare. jar definitely has some unique bubbles. Unlike bottles,. Every jar is a little bit different than the next to an extent.
