A Ball Mason jar with a number 1 on the bottom is not very old. The 1 on the bottom denotes the type of recycling the jar requires if one is to recycle it. Recycling was not a big factor in manufacturing until the late 1970's.

Both types are popular for canning and storage, but the Perfect Mason jar is often preferred for its reliability in sealing.
