Hello everyone

Picked this up the other day at a antique store. It's a quart jar.
Please look at the spelling of the word Ball. It looks like Rall, B is not complete with lines?
I also have some Ball Mason quarts with the seams that don't run up the jar.
I can send pictures if need be.
Any help would greatly be appreciated.

Thank you!

Ball logo from 1900-1910 did not connect on bottom of the B, https://antiquesknowhow.com/ball-mason-jars/ will help you. My wifes grandmother, mother and my wife all can. Wife has a fairly large collection of old jars.
Hello DWerk

Um, I think I may have explained that wrong.
Try to zoom in on the B, not the bottom of the B but the center. In all other B's, on jars there's that loop in the center of the B before the line goes down.
This one has no loop.

From the period 1896-1910 because of the 'flair' at the end of the last 'l' letter. a unique characteristic.

Hello Mackaydon

Thanks! for this information, appreciate it.
This really helps me out a lot.
Some days I'm on my phone or books at the library looking up some of these items.

Take care!
