Variations of Jars I haven't Seen

[BENTHOR]

I am going through and cleaning bottles I haven't seen since I dug them. I came upon these 5 jars that I haven't seen ever...atleast the variations. Wonder if any are good?
Front and back pics in the same order as the jars. They all have ground lips. Thanks for looking!

Ok, as you know there are many variations so it might take a little while but I found one so far. The (keystone in circle)Mason -ground lip, shoulder seal. Thats the first one I looked for because I like it best (but it might not be the most valuable one). QT Aqua $10-12
This jar also comes in Citron($750+)
Olive Green($1000+)
Amber ($750+)
Clear ($200+)

Whatever book you have...I must get. Imagine having a citron jar..........

. Red Book number 11- The collectors guide to Old Fruit Jars. Take my advice and if you want this book you should find the authors website. He will sell it to you for about 40 bucks. He ships quickly and he threw his autograph on it for me too. If you try to get it off eBay or another third party they will try to rip you off! (I saw some for 100-200 dollars). The NCL jar is 20-30 in Aqua. Once again the values go waaay up for other colors. It's rare in clear-Midget pint size 750-1000 dollars

Ok...I'm assuming the first set of jars are smaller pints. I believe the first jar with the reverse cross is jar 1941- Shoulder seal midget pint- value is 25-35 dollars so that's pretty good. Once again...in olive green in that size you would have a good used car. (2500-4000 dollars). In Amber it's even more! (4500-6000)

I'll look up more tomorrow. It's time for bed for me!

I think I've only seen an amber shard of a jar once! Thanks a lot for taking the time to look those up for me. I'm thinking about all the jars I've left behind....

You're welcome. Working for the Usps has me incredibly busy this time of year. I will try to look up the other jars you posted tonight. This is the best jar I've ever dug. I can't remember if I posted this one on here. .

MASON'S (Keystone) IMPROVED Midget Pt in AQUA $50-75 (I think that's the midget. Smaller opening on top right?) screwband with glass insert- Closure value: 25-40%

Last jar to be identified is the Mason's Patent Nov 30th 1858 (reverse CFJ co). I'm having trouble. What's on the base? There are so many molds.

Great jars. Most that I dig are in between three and thirty pieces. I dug some strong shoulders recently and they were definitely built stronger. I love the 1858 jars, even if they are later ones, nice showing you got there.

View attachment 1389599 It looks like "A830" on the base but it is embossed backwards!

 

[Crusty Shellback]

I dug one of those that has a 1 on the base.

I'm 90% sure this last jar is 1927-4 which lists for 6-8 dollars. Unless I'm missing something. Lots of variations on this mold which include embossed dots, misplaced commas, and 1's that look like sevens(plus more). Generally the qt sizes in Aqua for this mold don't go for more than 20 dollars(with the lid).

Thanks for the spot on info. I'm just starting to realize how many different variations there are. Wonder how many (if any) Hemingray Jars I've left behind thinking they were CFJ co's.....(the monogram on a Hemingray looks very similar just with an H.
