The current market value for a vintage Atlas E-Z Seal aqua-blue glass jar with its original glass lid and wire bail typically ranges between $10 and $25.Valuation
FactorsSize: Your jar features a distinctively wider, shorter "squat" shape common to the pint size. Pint-sized squat jars generally pull a slightly higher premium from collectors than common quart sizes.
Completeness: Having both the original matching aqua glass lid and the wire bail mechanism intact keeps it on the higher end of the baseline value.
Condition: Look closely at the lip and base for any small chips, as glass damage drops the value significantly. Minor surface rust on the wire bail is typical and widely accepted for pieces from the early-to-mid 1900s.
Mold Markings: Check the underside of the jar. Certain manufacturer mold numbers (like the number 13) can carry a unique novelty value among specific collectors
