Two If By Sea

Growing up as a teenager in rural Indiana, my neighbor would tell me stories about working in the Ball Factory in Muncie, Indiana.  Thus, began my curiosity and love for canning jars made by any of the companies Ball, Mason, Kerr and Atlas.

Above is an old, rusted Atlas canning jar that I put some needle, thread, and scissors in, and the sunlight did the rest.  I could photograph fonts looking like frozen water all day.
