Anybody have any ideas on age? I've seen the pictures online to date these, and none of the B's are like this one. All I see are 2 part letters, this B is one cursive stroke.

Ball boughtout Port and modified the Port logo to read Ball
Ball bought Port in 1904 and modified moulds to read Ball. Your jar would date to around 1915?
Looks 1933 - 1962, according to logo style.
The logo is a modified Port logo and not the later Ball Perfect Mason logo
Thanks for all your suggestions. Been looking all morning, reading on these jars and this one was machine made, with mold marks to the top of the lip. Didn't see that anywhere yesterday when I was reading. I did read they made so many of these, the molds where constantly being replaced, and no two are exactly alike, which would explain all the differences I've been seeing. Again, thanks for your time, it is appreciated.
