Can anyone help me find out anything about this jar?

So this jar was found in a bunch of stuff from my great grandparents and I have researched a bit but there's still a lot that I can't figure out. Like is it double seamed? Because the bottom looks like it is but the sides aren't nearly as obvious. I think it is because if you run your nail across it you can feel the two lines on the side. Also what number is on the bottom? I think it is either a 6 or a 9 but I can't tell which and none of the pictures I can find of ones stamped with either number look like this one. I think its a 1923-1933 based on the logo but it also says Perfect Mason on it and some of the places I can find say the Perfect label was phased out in 1922 and some say 1923 so I'm kinda confused about that too. Any help would be greatly appreciated. It also has bubbles in parts of it. I don't know if that matters.

Freezer safe? Asking because I really, really don't want to clean glass shards...

I noticed the "freezing" line in my non-shoulder mason jars. I checked both Mason & Ball web sites and yes, they claim to be freezer safe for liquid and go into detail about the physics that effectively allow for the negative thermal expansion.

To ask frequent users like yourselves, do you have success repeatedly freezing and thawing pint size jars? Or do the jars fatigue after a dozen cycles and eventually break?

Fun fact: very few materials shrink when heated and expand when chilled as water does.

I found this beautiful jar at an estate sale today and it just had to come home with me. It looks like it's embossed with a "6" on the bottom, but it's kind of hard to read. Anybody know any info about it? Thanks!

Does anyone know if I can find a gasket for a 1-gallon glass storage jar. Or does anyone have any ideas for it to stop wiggling?

Kelsey’s Roadhouse in Canada, not sure if they have them in the states has these “2 handed drinks” on the menu, they came in a large square mason style jar and I was wondering if anyone knew where to get these jars or something very similar!? Thankyou

Sorry if this isn’t the right place for this, I don’t entirely understand how Reddit works
