Looks like that monogram was for the Safe Glass Company:

Thank You!!
Brando1234, You're welcome. :-)
Per sha dot org, it's not for certain that the monogram is Safe Glass Company; it might be the Swayzee Glass Company; however, the time period for the two are quite close (1896-1906 1898-1905), so I think that narrows down the vintage of your Mason jar to about a ten year window or less.
I like that style of monogram. I initially became aquainted with it through vintage sewing machines, specifically a monogram used by Singer on, of all things, their old industrial sewing machines (NB #20 Industrial, c.1884 - late 1920's ):

Other companies used that style of a monogram using superimposed initials, and it appeared on all kinds of products, including exercise gear. We have a sample here at CW S&T, but I'm darned if I can find/link it right now. :-(
Thanks you for all your hard work!! Your the best..

"Thanks you for all your hard work!!"
No problem. I've come to realize that for me, collectibles research (vintage sewing machines included) is kind of like what crossword puzzles are for some other people.
Here's that exercise gear item I made reference to the other day (it involved two posts, and a lot of group blood, sweat, and tears, so to speak):
