You know, I'd no idea what was a "Ball Jar"! I had to go to the net to
find it was the same thing as a Mason Jar, the normal jar for preserving
produce or delivering moonshine. Just for completeness, they are
sometimes called "Fruit Jars" from a common impressed design.
Apparently, Mr Mason invented them and Mr Ball first made them.
