Don't know, haven't opened the blister pack yet and didn't pay any
attention at the time. Was just glad to get some four-ounce jars. Same
with the half-pint, they are Golden Harvest so probably have the circle
with fruit in it, although, once again, I haven't looked.

I don't think we get a lot of people canning in half-pints and
four-ounce jars, most of the canners I know here don't use anything
smaller than a pint.

I wasn't impressed by the prices either, I just figured it was more
Obamanomics at work.
