About Antique Ball Canning Jars

From 1894 until 1961, over 41 Million gross canning jars were produced by the Ball Glass Mfg Co. As one of the most common fruit jars, they are both plentiful and diverse. Some key Ball canning jar varieties manufactured over the years include Perfect Mason, Ideal, Sure Seal, Improved and Special. Collectors also look for varying closure types and embossing styles, and for re-worked and modified molds.
