Quoted from the ‘glassbottlemarks.com’ website:
https://glassbottlemarks.com/boyds-..., the first ones date,“BOYD” embossed on them.
Boyd’s Genuine Porcelain Lined Cap
Lewis R. Boyd was issued a patent for his invention (patent #88,439) on March 30, 1869.
Although most of them are found in an opaque, or semi-translucent white milk glass, some are seen in “off” shades of milky or “foggy” aqua, green or blue. Only a very few of them were actually made of true porcelain, the great majority being made of glass, notwithstanding the phrase which would indicate otherwise.
It is difficult if not impossible to assigned specific years of production to any of these liners. Presumably, the first ones date from approximately 1869. The very earliest versions are said to have been made in transparent glass, with milk glass versions introduced approximately 1871. It is assumed that most of the earlier versions of these liners have the name “BOYD’S” or “BOYD” embossed on them. Later versions may or may not have the name included in the lettering.
The glass liners were continued to be made in huge quantities for many decades thereafter, with production probably extending well into the 1950s or later. The timeline of markings (which ones came first) is uncertain.

As a side note: if you do any vegetable fermentation, those work great as weights to keep the veg below the liquid for health reasons. Mainly if using a wide mouth quart for the container.
