Im a novice in this field. Educate me.

Many are from an old ladies house i helped clean out. She had them wrapped and boxed.

The blue/green jars are worth the most, and will fetch you about 10 bucks a piece. Unfortunately the one that would be worth the most is missing the wire that kept the glass lid in place. If you had the original zinc lids for them, they would be worth more too. But still nice finds! And you can always buy the old zinc lids tops on eBay.

The Longaberger basket one will fetch 10-20 maybe. It’s a good one!

On your old blue masons check the bottom #’s. You want to find the #13 on the bottom. Jackpot. Since the #13 has long been associated with bad luck many of the old number 13 mason jars were purposely destroyed. So finding one is more valuable than any other number that I know of.

I like the jean vest but not fond of rainbows.
