I was going through some canning jars I had in the house and discovered this one. The mold number 9 on the front of the jar as well as the normal one on the bottom. Of all my jars and ones I have viewed on line, I have never seen this. Sometimes it looks like a 2, but it is sitting on a mold line around the jar.

I went to the garage to see if there might be another. Nope! But I did find a jar I did not know I had. A pint size WHITNEY Mason jar. Never heard of these, and now I have 16 different brands in my collection.

Thanks for looking
 

Your's is a Sure Seal, and the Sure Seal is not on the dating list I have...

And that doesn't mean it not a great find! It is, and it's blue glass.

Thanks Deep. On another dating list the ascending A puts this jar at 1910-1923. Also while in the garage, I discovered another "sanitary". Now I have two.

Could you post the other dating list here? There's clearly a whole lot more to bottle & glass collecting - but then I've only been into glass for less than a year.

The ‘Sure Seal’ series represented the first Ball jars with a glass lid and wire bail to appear in the 20th Century and were a standard catalogue offering until 1915 [ref: ‘A Collector's Guide to Ball Jars’; William Brantley, 1975]
