I don't where else to post this.
A good many years ago we moved into this house got into canning and it's not something I'm foreign to as I grew up doing it. So we started out doing green beans, apples and peaches and over the years we picked up 100s of canning jars at yard sales and picked up a few odd ball jars along the way and I grew up in a home whose dad was an antique glass collector and I knew some canning jars had some value but only the really old ones and most did not exceed $20 in value but that was 30-35 years ago.
Well, as it turns out some canning jars made in the late 60s and early 70s now have some collectors value and some of the really old canning jars are now fetching some serious money in the collectors market.
No telling you have go over what you have in your collection and use the internet search engine. I'm still going over our stuff and have a few in question and two newer ones I thought would have some collector value as it turns out a Canning Jar with a Liberty Bell on one side and the words Mason on the other is now worth $20 if it has the words Bicentennial included on the jar as it turns out the company that made them, produced them from 1975 to 1977 or so and oddly the pre 76 jars were of limited production and handed out as gifts by the company and not sure if it has a little more value or not I'm still researching. I have one with the words "Mom's Mason Jar and shows a image of an older woman holding an apple it has a value of around $10 and I see some asking up to $8 more.
