Found this green Ball mason jar yesterday. It cleaned up real nice, thanks to Scotk9. My chart puts it between 1896 - 1910 
It appears to have been hand-blown into a mold; there are seams running from the base all the way up to the lip, but there are way too many bubbles, ripples, and lines in this bottle. Not a single crack, despite the appearances, although there are two small chips in the lip.
Then there's this St. Jude Thaddeus Catholic pendant. The O-ring fell off during cleaning; I think it's made of aluminum or tin, I wish it were silver
Also found a Dr. Charles E. Hires (Phila.) tincture bottle, a very old rust-encrusted ice skate blade, a small horseshoe for a pony, and another Graniteware bowl. Scott also found a few decent things, but I'll let him post his own threads
EDIT: Here's the chart for Ball logos that I use, for anyone else's reference. I got it from Google.
