November 30 : National Mason Jar Day

After John L. Mason patented his “Improvement in Screw-neck Bottles” in November 1858 (US Pat. No. 22,186), screw-neck bottles would forever be known as Mason Jars.  Over 150 years later, gardeners, crafters and designers use Mason Jars daily.  Today we celebrate #nationalmasonjarday as the last of the fall harvest is ready to can.  Do you can?  What’s your favorite canning recipe or item.  Or have you used Mason jars in a unique craft project?  Let us know in the comments below!  #bigiplaw #patentfunfacts #strawberryjam #pickles #masonjar
