Need Fruit Jar Help..... w/ Pics

[creeper71]

I bought a few bottles an a jar a few days ago... The Fruit Jar I bought is what I believe is in the RB#9 Jar # 164 Atlas Strong Shoulder with the dropped A.. Problem is I don't see my color listed in the size an maybe the color... It is a pint size an the color I can't figure out yet... but it is definitely some shade of Olive.. can someone look in there #10 to see if there is a pint size Olive color for the #164 with dropped A? or if you know something about this jar please post what you know... I am going to assume for right now this jar is very rare to scarce since it is nott listed in the # 9 book... I'll get pics on here soon as I can!!

The olive ball jar i sold was worth about $20 . Ive never since a colored atlas jar might be rare or new .
http://cgi.ebay.com/Olive-Green-ATL...ultDomain_0&hash=item2a0e35e097#ht_500wt_1156 one on ebay around 20 with a bid . so might be worth that mauch if you have the zinc lid .

I am already watching this auction, but I don't think it's the same color

Could it be a RB #161....that comes in a Light Olive Green and a Medium olive with amber streaks

SWR I don't think it is a #161 .. #161 is -ATLAS- . Mine is a #164 with the dropped A meaning the first line of the first A is alot longer an drops below the 2nd line in the A. SWR if you have a red book look at the # 164 you will see the differnce.. I am not good at explaining things..

Gotcha. I didn't notice the pre and post hyphens -ATLAS- on the 161

The A is undropped an the hyphens are the difference between the #161 an the #164

On all ball jars and glass items of this nature . Glass runs sometimes where mixed or a yellow glass was mixed into a blue/aqua to clean out the glass . Alot of the green with amber swirls is this . I forget which site talks about this but a few of the ball mason jar identification sites talk about this when i was looking up my olive colored jar . The lettering and swirls in mine meant it was older then the 5 different color batch ball mason did . I dont know atlas jars so i cant say one way or the other on the color .

I've got the zinc lids with porcelain inserts if you need one.

But...you can also find these at most antique stores.

I have a lid that was with it, but don't know if it is the orginal lid.. if it is it's pretty tight fit.. lid has ATLAS on top an the white porelain has GENUINE BOYD'S CAP FOR MASON JAR

I've had quite the hiatus from Tnet, so in my return I have been looking at some of the older posts.

Just wanted to confirm that this is RB#164 as you said, but the Redbook #10 doesn't have the color/size combo listed either. In saying that, if you look at RB#161 and RB#163, they both list a PT in Light Olive for $12-15. So I would say that even though your jar is a RB#164 in an unlisted size/color combo, it is still in the previous listed price range. I must say though that it looks a little more in a medium olive shade than light, so that would increase the value to maybe $20-40. Nice jar.

I actually called The guy who wrote the red book to asked him, he told me I would use the same pricing for the same color quarts ect.. for the RB164 for my jar is
