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, exact copies of John Landis Mason's jars were commonly made. These jars all have the words "MASON'S PATENT NOV 30TH 1858" on the side, but the manufacturer and exact production date of this jar, as well as this one, are unknown.

The glass of this item is a cool light blue, with small irregularities and small and large bubbles visible on the surface. In terms of condition, there are small scratches and a chip on the rim, but the damage is not significant, and considering its age, it can be said to be in good condition.

The included lid is made by Ball and is polished to a certain extent, so if you are used to it, it is recommended for storing coffee beans, seasonings, etc., but if you want to use it safely, it is recommended that you replace it with a clean lid. The opening is regular mouth size.
