I don't know the answer to your question about the #41, but I heard that #13's usually sell for a higher price because people used to think they were unlucky and alot of them got broken on purpose and thrown away.

I just found three boxes of all types of old Ball jars. Whats the most desirable?
I've got zink tops and glass tops and snap tops.. I know nothing about them.
1/2 pint to 1/2 gallon.
