      Yes, Ball and mason are definitely getting more time. I just started working on Ball as we speak! It seems like some of these guys stories overlap, so it will be interesting to unravel. :)

    Oh I love mason jars!! You can make a career of just researching and discussing the history and how canning techniques and jars changed over time. I have a glass liner Ball jar, a lightning clamp lid Ball jar - both from the 1920s to early 30s. I also have a CROWN mason jar from 1933 that has a glass lid and a zinc screw band. I have some clamp-down lid Kilner Ravenhead jars that still work, and a few Gem jars that also still work fine...both from I'm guessing the 60s or 70s. In amongst my usual jars are some Dominion Glass, Canadian Mason, Consumers Glass, and some Domglass jars. Love my jars!

    So are you a collector of fruit jars or just one who loves history? I love my collection and with many shapes and colors and makers,they make a beautiful display.Not to mention worth some good money.

    • @antiquebottlestories
      @antiquebottlestories  3 роки тому

      Both. I started collecting the bottles because they are cool, but as i started finding the story behind them, i found out that finding the story is just as fun as finding the bottles.
      I dont collect fruit jars specifically, i collect all kinds. My favorite are Art Deco bottles. But if you look at the list of videos on this channel youll see that i get into all kinds of bottle stories.

    Great chose for a bottle story. Very interesting. Now you can explain why certain jars made in the same era are worth more that others. As all digger's will say, Ball jars are a dime a dozen. I have hundreds of blown bottles packed away in boxes. So I really enjoy finding that odd duck. I have a smoky very light amber Good Luck Atlas canning jar. Not sure if it's rare, but it's in my collection. Thanks for the wonderful story Brandy

      @@bruceritchie4382 I dont have a go-pro, but i have a few digital cameras, and yes, you have to buy a SD card to hold pics/video. The SD card pops in and out of the camera, and there should be a slot on your laptop or computer for the SD card to go into. Sometimes it will just pop open a folder when the computer detects it, and then its just a matter of moving it from that folder to a folder on your computer.

      @@bruceritchie4382 so i went to look it up, since i dont have a go-pro. To answer your question, yes, SD cards are usually the same size. BUT i just read this page that says go-pros take a MICRO SD card. So you might need to take your go-pro to walmart, and ask the dude to get you the one you need for that one.

    I don't remember exactly, but I thought I read about the inventer of the original canning jar allowing his patent to expire cause he didn't feel it was worth it. That's where he was wrong.

      Interesting. Im sure there are plenty more ways to seal a jar when you have limited resources. People can get pretty creative!
