Finding vintage mason jars

Found some vintage jars on a Facebook Marketplace adventure!

[@ribo451]

Those are awesome finds. I worked for a company that was supposed to tear down an old outbuilding and when we went in it there was a box full of jars. Nobody wanted them so I took them home. At the time I didn’t realize any of them were vintage or that they had any value. Out of the 40 in the box, 11 of them were old. I have three of the Presto Supreme Masons that you have with the original two piece tin and glass lid as well as a Presto Glass Top lid with the wire bail. There were also 5 Atlas EZ seal jars with wire bails and glass tops. And a couple other old colored jars. I have a blue and a purple one. Later I found a Drey jar in a river where a flooded house ended up back in the 40’s. Now I find myself ogling jars any time I see them. It’s kind of addictive.

I just watched your video and I had a question...do you or anyone else know about or are familiar with a Mason jar called Crystal? I went on a dig at about old property in Iowa and dug up many blue jars. Among them were a few Drey jars, a few Presto jars (along with alot of the original aluminum lids with glass liners, and 1 jar with the word Crystal on it. Any help would be greatly appreciated 🙂

[@williamskaggs335]

I should say that the jars in question are clear glass and not blue

Just found the same Kerr self sealing jar in the woods today. Here’s what I read……. Kerr “Self-Sealing” Mason jar in clear glass. This particular variant is marked with the AHK initials on the base and probably dates from the 1970s. I didn’t see any initials on the base of the one I found. Most of the other jars I found in that area date back to the 70’s.

Mason jars are dated by the Ball design on the jar! Some of the coolest ones are the ones that are a just little smaller than the qt jars, they were used for moonshining!
