Can anyone identify the logo/brand of this vintage mason jar?
My 90 year old neighbor came over with 8 very old mason jars (he said they’re 100+). Some are Ball, some are Atlas, but I can’t find anything online about these.

Both Ball and Atlas are manufacturers. Likely an unmarked Atlas. I have a Macys jar that was likely manufactured by Atlas as well. These are good for dry pantry staples and for refrigerator jams or pickles. These survive better if you get the orange rubber rings once used for canning. Ace and other small hardware stores stock these.

terisk logo to the San Francisco & Pacific Glass Works (1875-1902) – almost certainly correctly (Figure 10). These “stars” – including six-pointed examples and at least one with four points – were almost exclusively on cylinder whiskey bottles, although similar marks appeared on blue-aqua pickle bottles. The embossed words on these bottles also included a distinctively curved “R” also attributed to SF&PGW. See the section on the San Francisco glass works or Lindsey (2020) for more information. Hope this helps

If you get on Google, in the search bar there’s a camera. If you click on the camera it opens to “google lens” which is a Google search with a picture. It will bring up same/similar photos and you can do your research based on images.

In my area about 30 – 40 dollars to the right person . 25 pretty regular . To me that’s a lot of money for a jar . Lol

1 qt . The rest were pints with seals and lids.

Yeah you’ll have to find someone wanting or needing them . Advertise on FB marketplace and set your price . They May not sell quickly but they will sell.
