Vintage Antique Ball Blue Canning Jar 40 ounce Perfect Mason Jar circa 1913-1922

This has been well cared for. No cracks or chips. The lid screws perfectly. Holds 40 fl ounces Many Ball Mason jars have a number/letter printed on the bottom. This is a mold number that has nothing to do with the year of production. It has to do with the position on the glass making machine. The antique blue Ball jars are among the most sought after by collectors, as they have a fascinating history dating back to the early 1900s. The Ball Co was founded in 1880 and specialized in glass manufacturing. The blue color was achieved by adding cobalt oxide to the glass mixture which quickly became popular with consumers. They were initially created for home canning and food preservation, but have since become prized by vintage enthusiasts and collectors. This is perfect for adding a touch of vintage charm to your home decor, or DIY projects. We always used one for storing unpopped popcorn. The original zinc lid is in very good condition . Fragrance and smoke free home. Will be double boxed and very well packaged. Keep in mind I can ship up to 5 pounds for the same shipping fee with Poshmark. Wouldn’t that be great filled with some nice jewelry items 😃😃? A family member has one of these filled with antique marbles. Pretty cool. It has a million and one uses .
