Atlas Mason Jars.

Atlas E-Z Sea; Mason Jar.

The first canning jars emerged around 1809, when inventor John Landis Mason patented the Mason jar. His innovative design integrated a threaded screw top with a rubber seal to create an airtight container for food preservation. You would find this jar design vastly improved storage capabilities and extended the shelf life of preserved goods.

Over the years, other jar designs and innovations appeared, such as:The Lightning jar (invented by Henry William Putnam in 1882): This jar featured a bail-type wire closure and glass lid that secured with a metal clamp, providing a reliable seal.

The Atlas E-Z Seal jar (introduced around 1900): These jars showcased a glass lid with a heavy wire bail that locked down on the outside of the jar. This design innovation effectively sealed the jar without the need for a separate cap or screw-on lid.

Ball jars (produced by the Ball Corporation in 1885): Recognized as one of the most popular canning jar brands, these containers were made from high-quality glass and featured a variety of designs and closure styles over time.

In the case of canning jars, the jar was the product.  They were bought for the canner to use, instead of coming with the product inside.  That means that the embossing on the jar gives the name of the brand of the jar.

Canning jars are common finds on the Treasure Coast.  Ball is the most common,followed by others such as Atlas, Kerr, Presto, Tropical etc.

Above is an exceptionally nice and clean older example of a blown Atlas bottle.  You can see some nice bubbles in the base.  The one below is more like the typical find.

Here is another Atlas jar.  This one is a Strong Shoulder Mason.

Atlas Strong Shoulder Jar.

The Atlas Strong Shoulder Mason jar, produced roughly between the 1920s and 1940s, is valued for its unique logo design. The logo showcases block letters that say “Atlas Strong Shoulder Mason.” The jar has a reinforced “strong shoulder” to prevent breakage when sealing, which highlights the technological advancements of the time...

Embossed SLOAN'S LIMIMENT Bottle

Old Sloan's Liniment Bottle Find.

;

This history was well supported by the Boston City irectories. Sloan was first listed in the Boston directories in 1880 and by 1882 he was listed at his first Portland Street location, 166 – 175 Portland, where he remained until 1887. This advertisement in the March 6, 1886 edition of the Black Hills (South Dakota) Daily Times confirmed that by this time Sloan’s Liniment was not just being marketed as a veterinary remedy.

The man or woman that has rheumatism and fails to keep and use “Sloan’s Liniment” is like a drowning man refusing a rope...

I believe the date code on the bottom of the bottle indicates 1947.
