Jar Tour | Antique & Vintage Mason Jars | Little Acre Farm

Somehow I managed to whittle this down to about 16.5 minutes. I had to cut out a lot of my fangirl rambling, but here is a very, VERY high level tour of all (well not all, most) of my vintage and antique canning jars. As you can see, I have a lot.

Let me know if you’d be interested in more jar stories and educational-type video about specific designs, types, manufacturers, and eras of jars?

Also is it “curr” or “care” - tell me in the comments!

I totally understand the vintage jar addiction! I have been collecting too and loved your video.

My neighbor let me salvage old jars that were disposed of down a hill on the side of the yard. In the weeds and trees. I ended up with about 80 usable jars! Took a while to clean them up, but SO worth it. Many were really old and not ball.

Literally standing in my kitchen looking at my jars on my table when this video popped up lol. I dig up all my old glass.

I love your collection! Mine started due to finding vintage jars in two boxes of canning jars from FB marketplace. 😅

[frugalprepper]

Nice. I have a bunch of older jars that I have collected from sales and stuff over the years. I still can in most of them.

I have Gem, Jewel, mid west, mason, atlas, golden harvest, kerr(care) and Bernardin

Just found you & love your page & you. So genuine. The one you showed with the label & handwriting brought tears to my eyes because going through moms jars I found some with labels written in her hand. She has now passed on :-(
A few years back my mom asked if I would like her Canning jars. I said "of course, I would love them!" My late husband & I started hauling boxes of jars up out of the storage area below the house (built on a hillside in Sonora, Calif). A truckbed full almost two layers deep!
Going through them recently found glass tops, zink lids, some kind wire holders. Many blue jars & lids. I know a lot of these also came from my great aunt in Idaho. Such family treasures that I hope, my children will treasure as much as I do.
I have not been doing Canning but have been dehydrating & using the jars vacuum sealing :-)
So looking forward to reading all your posts♡

Love the jars. I collect vintage glass as well I can all my food with the glass lids and rubber seal and zinc rings. I love this and prefer to use this instead of metal lid. Your rack looks like mine!!!! I have 3 shelves of quarts, 2 shelves of pints and 2 shelves of half pints. Love love love all the vintage glass. I pay to have them shipped to me cuz I can’t stop. Lol. I fill them all with food too so that is awesome.

this!! And yes! Let’s absolutely meet halfway. Angel said “RROOAADD TTRRIIPP” 🤣

Loved this video…it hit me in my heart strings. I love jars too!!! Wish you were in NJ and i could go thrift with you. No one around here gets me……

[yeteastashley]

I understand the addiction as well I started out looking for lids that were pretty. I was interested in the limited edition design series blue and green. I called the Mason Ball company to find out where to buy them but she said they were old and not good to use. Now my obsession is with glass lids and zinc bands. It’s been hard.

You did an excellent job on this video. I've just really enjoyed it. I grew up on a farm and I have a farm now that I am raising my children on. And I was a male carrier for 20 some years for the USPS. But I started my own financial business about a year and a half ago. And I've always loved antiques and furniture and decorating and I grew up on a farm so we had all these jars and we had a canning house and we had old smokehouse and root cellar just everything like that and now that I have this furniture sales business and I deal with antiques I still have these items I come across and I save and I love and I actually taught myself as a furniture doctor extraordinaire so I fixed furniture that would be left to die basically lol!! But today I was on here looking for knowledge about jars because I know I have a bunch of blue jars and ball jars and atlas jars but I don't know everything about them I want to learn more. I want to know more about him and I can cross your video and you were great and I just want to say thank you and I want to send you a bunch of jars! I found so many different ones in a recent root cellar that I cleared out. But I also want to tell you that at the end when you told about the pear mince meat... Literally made me cry.. so precious. I really would like to start canning again and I haven't did it since I help my mother and it's been a while but now you've encouraged me to do that. That is it life skill that we all should have. But that was precious. 😰 We forget those things that we did for the love of our family. People used to work hard together. Families were stronger back then because they had to survive, you know? Just wanted to comment and tell you thank you!

Ov been collecting antique bottles for a few years now but recently gotten into the jars my prize jars are my #13 ball, a putnam lighting, and my banner, I'm new to this so I appreciate your video as I'm trying to learn more about jars

[KornieMe]

I have a hodge podge of mason jars from my mom. I have quite a few bicentennial Ball's, Atlas, Golden Harvest, and Kerr (curr).

[roystarner]

I applause you on the interest of old jars.keep in mind, you should go to ebay pre 1900s fruit jars.some are worth good money.I too have a collection, and its trial and error, but i do have some good ones in my collection.Colour may matter and condition always matters as so if the lid and hardware is complete.some jars may have a defect of other colours mixed into the original colour.that is a good thing, cause some may have amber streaks in them.any questions then please ask and i will try and help you out if i can.

[isagoldfield]

I really enjoyed your blog. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Keep it coming😻❄️👨‍👩‍👦‍👦🏂🪅💕

[pkmetzger]

I pressure can raw pack boneless chicken in wide mouth pint jars. It fits about a pound of meat. I too really enjoy vintage and unique canning jars. Nowadays it is hard to find jar lids that are United States made without breaking the bank.

[billmckinney]

Good listen, I don't feel as bad now, but I know I've got a problem with vintage glass still! Kitchen is loaded!!! Anyone in PA ? I've got all kinds, and I can't stop digging them up!

[melodycross]

I was given some jars from a lady at church and I think I have some old ones. One of them the word Ball faded, one looks to be the 1910-1923 because it has the word Ball with the letter "a" ( hard to describe) has leg or writing in the front of the "a" it's a qaurt size and a pint jar the same way. Do they have any value

[teresacoffman]

I have always pronounced Kerr as rhyming with “her”.
