Any Jar Collectors? Ball Mason Jars in particular?
I know one. Got pics? Questions?
Goodness! I had no clue that those things could command such a price. I've got 4 old wooden crates full of old jars up in my attic. My grandfather used to collect them. None of my brothers or I really know much about them, so I'm just keeping them stored away. There are lots of old mason jars, old medicine jars from the 1800's and early 1900's etc. Some of them are pretty cool, my favorites are some of the old 'snake-oil' salesmen's jars full labeled as some kind of 'Wonder Tonic'. I guess I really need to go through those crates and catalog each one.Thanks for any help davek.
I found one yesterday. Has zinc lid with the porcelain insert.
Went to looking them up for info. Only found one on the whole World Wide Web. And at an astonishing price of $4931.21 as of last night. By all my research it appears an identical.

Wondering if I am missing something? Never been into old jars. Ignorant about them.
