Can someone help me with an stimated value on this lip. This is the history that I found so far:

In 1859, Mason sold five of his early patents, including the mason jar, to Lewis R. Boyd and Boyd’s company - The Sheet Metal Screw Company. Boyd is most famous for patenting a white "milk-glass" insert for zinc screw lids to theoretically lessen the chances that food would come in contact with metal. In 1871, for a brief period of time, Mason became a partner with Boyd in the Consolidated Fruit Jar Company. Consolidated hired other glass makers to blow their jars, including the Clyde Glass Works, Clyde, New York, the Whitney Glass Works of Glassboro, New Jersey, and the A. & D. H. Chambers Company of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Even after Mason’s patents expired, the manufacture of these jars continued for well over half a century. The companies that produced the Mason jar between 1859 and 1910 are too numerous to mention." From FOHBC Primer.

With the domination of the canning jar industry by the mason jar, and the Lightning jar, by the 1880's innovation was on the decline in the canning jar industry. While patents did continue to be granted, fewer and fewer resulted in jars being produced, but rather the patents covered improvements in sealing the jars. This is seen in the modern jars of today, with the two piece metal closure, that seals on the top of the lip of the jar. While this idea was patented in various forms in the late 19 th and early 20 th century, it was not until after WWII that the technology behind it was perfected, and it gained wide usage in households.

Good morning. Those porcelin lids are nice! Do you have the jar and band for that lid? You can sometimes get about 10 to 30 bones for one of those if it is a good one. Is it chipped at all? Lids are tough you need to find someone that needs that lid. I have a pint "The american porceline lined"  with the correct lid and band. The correct lid will push up a decent jar value buy 15-20%. Did ya dig anything else?

Here is a picture of the killer right facing midget beaver jar super strong embossing. I dug it recently  Cheesy This is a super rare jar only one known with the lid. There are 2 midget jars they dont know the lid? this one and the midget beehive jar! I solved the riddle woohoo. I still have this jar and lid also, just bought a zincband for it the one that was on it was in bad shape! I may post a pic of the lid  Great Only a handfull of people know the correct lid.  Wink
