Awesome old Blue Ball Mason quart (that's 2lb!) preservative jars with original milk glass lined glavanised screw top lid.
These big old mason jars are in great condition with just the expected wear from years of use and could still be actively used in your pantry.
Now a household name, the Mason Jar's history dates back to the Ball Brothers (Edmund, Frank, George, Lucius & William). When the brothers founded Ball in 1880 they made wood-jacketed tin cans.
They started the company with a loan of $200 from their uncle. Then Frank and Edmund bought Wooden Jacket Can Co, the predecessor of the Ball Corporation.
In 1884, the five brothers expanded their business to glass home canning jars. The Ball Company, originally established in Buffalo, NY moved to Muncie, IN in 1887 to better take advantage of the natural gas reserve and to grow their expanding business.
Based on the history of the Ball Logo, these 3 particular jars were manufactured between 1923- 1933 (details in drop-down list) ... a lovely find these days! I have oodles of these, many with varying logos/dates (some older some more recent, but all vintage- please contact me for enquiries.
Measuring 18cm tall, pictures do not do these beauties justice.... line them up on your bench or shelf ...or pick one and have one of my popular soy candles made to order !!
