Wire Bail Glass Top Jar - Made in the USA Circa 1920's
Extremely Rare tiny size!
Holds 6 oz at the wire mark.
Our vintage jars may have slight rusting in spots where the wire bail sits butare guaranteed free of chips and cracks that affect the performance of the jar.Due to the age of these jars there may be occasional cosmetic chips or very slight "flea bites" in the rim.
Get them while you can, they aren't making any more!
Totally functional, you can use these jars for airtight food storage in the fridge, freezer, on the go (with a rubber seal), or as a gorgeous addition to any collection.
This listing is for the jar as shown, the mason jar plus its lid and wire bail.
*Note, mouth sizes in Wire Bail Jars are different than screw top lids. They are somewhat standardized but there is variations between brands. See our FAQ's for more details.

It took me a few tries to get the right size jar but now I have a winner!! Just perfect for my morning protein shake!! Love your products and your wonderful customer service!!! Thank you!!
I was having issues finding lids and found Bernardin lids here. I was a bit nervous but went ahead with the order and VERY glad I did! All the lids sealed perfectly! Also, I love their quirky emails🤣
I compared the weight of a dozen wide-mouth Bernardin lids to a dozen Kerr lids: exactly the same! The rubber sealing right is thick and ever so slightly dimpled, just the same as Kerr & Ball sealing rubber. These lids are great. All jars sealed up. So glad I could buy these lids! Highly recommended!

Grateful to find these lids!
I am a longtime canner. Once in a great while I can find Ball lids at the stores here in NYS. Had enough to finish my Fall canning and the occasional pressure canning of soups and stocks, but was really getting nervous for this coming season. The price is about double what I just paid at the local store when I saw four lone boxes on the shelf, but it was worth the price for my peace of mind. I used these to pressure can a small batch of bbq sauce this weekend. All four lids pulled down and sealed no problem. They are high quality like the Ball ones I usually buy, no metal warping like the cheap ones you can buy on Amazon. I’m very happy to have found Mason Jar Merchant and am ready for this year’s fruit and vegetable crop!
