The old glass also contains bubbles as the art of making glass was not perfected.
Also notice the shape of the jars
If you look on the bottom of the jar, you will find a number

Wow, that is so neat that you have a chart to see how old your jars are. I love the old Ball jars. There is so much that we can use them for. And your purple hydrangeas in the green jar looks so pretty, Nonie. I wish I had a few of these jars for flowers. They really come in handy.
