These jars were made by the Port Glass Co.
This jar was probably made in 1902 or 1903 at their Belleville, Illinois plant. In 1904 E.B. Ball bought out Port Company and moved the entire factory to Coffeyville, Kansas.
The cursive Port embossed on the jars was changed to the Ball cursive design over the next couple of years at that factory.
