I believe that would be a monumental mason's canning jar with white enameled metal screw on lid. Front : Mason's STAR Patent Nov. 30th 1858 Back : American Eagle holding arrows and olive branch, 7 stars Estimate price between $40.00 - $80.00 Circa 1975 Libbey Glass Co. For 1976 Bicentennial.
I found an 1858 patented Mason's jar and would like to know the value if any?
75 to 100 dollars. They are not old but they were made by libbey glass about 25 years ago in mass quanities
That is Scott number US 1858. It has a minimal value and can be purchased for 90 cents in mint condition and 15 cents used.
But in 1858, an inventor and tin smith from New York City, John L. Mason, invented the mason jar. He invented a machine that could cut threads into lids, which made it practical to manufacture a jar with a reusable, screw-on, lid. This was the difference between his design and predecessors, the sealing mechanism: a glass container with a thread molded into its top and a zinc lid with a rubber ring. The rubber created the seal, and the threaded lid maintained it. The jar included his patent: "Mason’s Patent Nov. 30th. 1858." Source: http://www.pickyourown.org/canningjars.htm
John Mason Peck died in 1858.
If it has color it could be worth thousands of dollars but if it doesn't, its probably worth 30$. I have the same jar as you and i googled it. Look it up for more information. It could be worth more, its however much the buyer is willing to pay.
John B. Mason was born on 1858-10-28.
The Mason Jar was first patented on Nov., 30, 1858.
Henry Joseph Monck Mason died on 1858-04-14.
Need more information but there is a model 1858 ;) BUT that patent date is on different revolvers as well.
