...As we can see from the above article Louis Boyd never produced any canning jars.
His name was so well known in the canning jar industry that some companies just
plagiarized his name.
Three different companies have produced the Boyd/Boyds canning jars.
1. Illinois-Pacific Glass Company, San Francisco, CA 1900-1930.
2. Illinois Glass Company at Acton, Illinois 1873-1929.
3. Greenfield Fruit Jar and Bottle Company, Greenfield, Indiana, 1890-1909. Sold
to Ball in 1909 and resold in 1917.
Dates given are the dates the companies were in operation and not necessarily when the
jars were made. Both “Boyd Perfect Mason” and “Boyds (written in cursive) Perfect
Mason” were made. Most Boyd/Boyds jars were made between 1900 and 1909 at
Greenfield, Indiana.
