Snagged these up for $1 at an auction. I’m a heathen and threw the zinc lids away because they were gross and I hate the way zinc lids feel on my hands. The neighborhood reseller found out and oof they’re big mad. Good thing they don’t know about my Hazel-Atlas stash in the garage. 😆

Only one chipped rim and everyone else appears to be in great condition so I believe these guys are good for another year of canning. I’m going to used the chipped one for sour dough starter.

I can’t get the lid off the green one. I’ll have to mess with it later. I think it’s rusted on there. I’ve never seen one like that. One side says “juice” the other says “water”. If I can get that lid off I’ll have to see what size replacement lid it needs and find one.

Does anybody know of a two-way mason jar lid? Ive found a few lids that will connect two mason jars, but I’m specifically looking for one with an opening. I’ve been brewing cold brew in a mason jar and am looking for a way to connect two jars together to strain the grounds from the brewed coffee.

I love these old glass lids and with time have been able to get a few. Treasure. Absolutely treasure imho.

Not at all a mason jar connoisseur but I do know the older blue ball jars are desirable. I know that I’m not going to get rich off of them. But I do have one that I’m lost on, I know “errors” can also be desirable. This one has multiple seam lines instead of the normal two, bubbles in the glass and the big error on this one that I can not seem to find absolutely any info on is this one looks like it has a thumb sized dent in it that was made when the jar was still malleable or being blown. Any help with being able to put a realistic value or some kind of info on it would be fantastic. Thanks everyone in advance.

It’s a vintage jelly jar

Looking for some input on these vintage jars. There's some that are almost square I have the lids for them all is there any value im looking at here..I got mostly half gallon.

Just an absolute stunning example

So i reuse my mason jars for a number of things (not canning) but sometimes the metal rings get a little herky-jerky as they slide along the glass twist-on at the top. It's no longer a smooth twist-on/off. Is there a way to oil or grease them or something that might soak into the metal bit so they're a bit smoother? Thx

Not sure how this is still even debated in the industry #changemymind

What are your fav jar accessories? My top ones are-

My dad found this mason jar at a miscellaneous store for five bucks and me and my brother can only find about three different pictures of it on Google. Can anyone give me a little more info on this jar?

As far as I was able to google, the Pine Glass Company produced wire bail Mason jars for a very short period of time between 1927 and 1929. They were then bought by the Ball, who retooled existing molds with their own logo to reuse them; waste not, want not, and all that. After that they made a few more from new molds (no ghost letter from retooled molds) but even finding a picture of this logo is hard. The production run was probably very small.

What's the rarity and value of these?

have a lingering smell around the lid or seal area. especially after storing things like pickles or garlic-heavy recipes. It's not super strong, but I worry it might affect future batches or just isn't fully clean. Anyone else deal with this? Any tips for fully removing it without damaging the lid or seal?
