Atlas Ez Seal Error?

dibger71

So I've just cleaned yesterdays haul and I noticed what looks like an error I'll send a pic. The 5 above Ez Seal on the bottom is upside down. If it's a 2 it still doesn't work so would you consider this an error bottle? That's the way I'm leaning.

Hi Thanks for posting, this is a great question.

Yes, you will find a number of Atlas EZ Seal jars listed in the Red Book of Fruit Jars which list out various numbers (likely mold numbers) and other variations of embossing on the base. Some jars were marked "SEAE" instead of SEAL

Thanks to the internet, and just the advancing of collecting, there is a lot more interest in mold variations.

Some of them collectors care about, others not so much. One thing I can say as a collector of over 40 years - people often get more interested once someone documents all the differences.
