I see a few examples of this unembossed pint jar floating around on the Internet… But having trouble finding history on Putnam besides Wikipedia. im only aware of the 227 repro.. the bail wire looks too good but has base seams. is this jar legitimate? any info would be much appreciated

It’s a real jar. I don’t know the history of Putnam to help you out there

According to the redbook (fruit jar guide) - with no damage the jar is valued at 75-100 bucks

So is that a lightning jar.ive only seen Putnam # on lightning jar. And I've got a red book but I've never seen a section in there of jars with no markings. Got some interesting looking jars with no markings just curious
