Description
A collection of vintage glass canning jars featuring various embossed maker marks and styles. The assortment includes several aqua blue-green jars embossed with the Ball script logo above PERFECT MASON and SURE SEAL. Also included is a central aqua jar embossed with ATLAS over STRONG SHOULDER MASON. The jars exhibit various mold numbers near the bases, including 12 and 13. One clear glass jar is included in the set. Accompanying the jars is a group of zinc screw-top lids featuring white milk glass liners, and a set of red rubber sealing gaskets.
