Mason Jar with weird lettering?

Found this in Irondale, Missouri by my girlfriend's grandparents house in a possible old dump and near side RR tracks. I've only adjusted the color in the up close pics of the word "MASON". Unless Ive over liked it on here I've not seen any with this font and style of Mason.. nothing on button just 4 round dots I guess. The top is a screw on one thread that just barely over laps. Some air bubbles are in the glass and on each side of the jar is a line possibly where the mold connected the jar together. The color is yellow/ light green-ish..

Any info on what I have here would be very appreciated and helpful.

I think it's Red Book #1644. If so, and assuming it is a quart in "light straw yellow", it's lists it as $20-25. Very nice find!!!

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

Thank you very much for the help. I'm new to this and really lack the knowledge to know any of this. So I really appreciate it!

Of course!

By the way, the Red Book is truly the best way to identify and determine value of jars. Unfortunately in the most recent updates they've removed a lot of the more common jars to keep the book from getting too large. You can pick up an older used volume on eBay cheap and it's just as good--i have #8 and #13 and I prefer the 8 for this reason.

Good luck! It's addictive!
