Mason's Patent Nov 30th 1858 Jar

In 1858, John Landis Mason, a foundry worker, invented a system for sealing a glass jar by threading the top of the jar with a lid, and patented it as a Mason jar. At the time, the only ways to preserve food were by drying, pickling, or smoking, so the Mason jar quickly became popular.

After the patent expired in 1879, various manufacturers began making Mason jars, but until the 1910s, many jars were exact copies of John Landis Mason's products. These jars all have the same "MASON'S PATENT NOV 30TH 1858" on the side, but this jar also has the Hero Fruit Jar Co. logo above the "MASON'S" mark.

This jar was produced from 1884 to around 1900. The glass is a cool light blue, and the surface has small irregularities and tiny air bubbles.
In terms of condition, there is a slight cloudiness across the inside of the glass and small scratches on the outside.

The included lid is made by Ball and has been polished to remove any white rust, so if you're used to using it, it's recommended for storing coffee beans, seasonings, etc., but if you want to use it safely, you can replace it with a clean lid. The opening is a regular mouth size.
