Description

This collection features 16 vintage and antique glass canning jars representing major American glassmakers, including Ball, Presto, and Owens-Illinois. The collection highlights early-to-mid 20th-century glass manufacturing evolution, spanning from classic aqua "Ball Blue" zinc-top jars to clear, square-shaped utility glass. Included in the grouping are notable collectible styles such as a 1976 U.S. Bicentennial Liberty Bell commemorative quart jar, Presto Supreme Mason jars, and square-shaped Ball Perfect Mason jars featuring vertical side grip ribs designed for easier handling.

Manufactured primarily between the 1930s and 1970s across various U.S. glassworks, these jars showcase distinct raised embossing, including classic script logos, volumetric measurement markings, and traditional threaded glass rim finishes. The collection includes four aqua blue Ball Perfect Mason jars, three clear square ribbed-side Ball Perfect Mason jars, two clear Presto Supreme Mason jars produced by Owens-Illinois Glass Company (carrying original base mold/plant markings), one clear Bicentennial Liberty Bell jar, and six clear standard/mason utility jars.
