Antique Half Gallon Ball Mason Jar with Three L Monogram ( Ball only script) with a hotsell Genuine Boyd Cap

1/2 Gallon Ball Mason Jar with Triple L Script

These BALL only jars were produced in the early 1900's -1940's. I believe this to be an early bottle due to the fact that this jar is a shoulder seal and Ball began phasing out the shoulder seal around 1910. Also the earlier bottle capacities were not exact because there were no industry standards. This bottle is meant to be a half gallon however, when I filled it to capacity it actually holds 60oz (Four ounces short of a true half gallon)
