More Than You Probably Ever Cared to Know about Ball Jars (a.k.a. Mason Jars)
Hi Ray! Not sure if you ever check this article or not, but I wanted to let you know that the website you mention here no longer exists. (balljars.net) It is unfortunate that the site is gone as I was hoping to learn more about Ball and their bail lid jars. I shall keep searching...
Ray, my wife and I were looking around an Old Homestead from the turn of the century. It was completely decaying and falling apart, but down in the walk-in part of the basement were some old jars. I have collected them for many years, but came across a couple that only had a little stamp on the bottom of the jar that had the word ball in it but nowhere else. Any clue as to the time frame when these were made?
Hello I make vintage ball jar lamps.i have always used a 40 watt Edison bulb. Up until now they have not gotten hot. I'm assuming I lucked out on the year of ball jar I kept finding in my vintage pickin trips. This last set I found are getting hot. I'm assuming it is the thickness of the jar. What year jar should I use to avoid this? Thanks for any help or insight you can give.
I don't live in the days of yesteryear, it's 2015 now and we mostly have been using mason jars for keeping marijuana. They work great, have a nice seal, come in a wide mouth style and they are useful for slow curing the marijuana as well. To keep the light out, I have made canvas sleeves for the jars, it's easy, quick and everyone likes them.
Does anyone know if these are ok to use in storing dry food likes beans?
Yes, these jars are wonderful for all your dry food. And food frozen in them lasts much longer than food stored in plastic containers.
Just curious.
