Notes:

There is a great variety in Ball Sure Seal jars. The early ones have regular-size mouth openings, later ones are wide-mouth. Some have double and quad helixes on the lip, indicating they were made on the E. B. Ball machine patented in 1902. The neck styles vary, using both the full-wire and the dimple. The full-wire jars may have bulged necks.

The Ball Ideal replaced the regular-sized jars and the Ball Eclipse replaced the wide-mouth jars.
