The Kilner Jar was originally invented by John Kilner (1792–1857) and associates, [4] and made by a firm of glass bottlemakers from Yorkshire called Kilner which he set up. [5] The original Kilner bottlemakers operated from 1842, when the company was first founded, until 1937, when the company went into liquidation.
The jars were invented and patented by Rudolph Rempel. Johann Carl Weck purchased the patent from Rempel, and in 1900 Weck and his best salesman George Van Eyck founded the J. WECK Company in Germany. In 1902, Weck left the company, Van Eyck continued to improve the design and function of the jar, and started exporting the jars outside of Germany.

[1] [2] From 1857, when it was first patented, to the present, Mason jars have had hundreds of variations in shape and cap design. [8]

The Fowler's Vacola system uses glass jars, single use rubber ring seals and pressed metal lids, much like American Mason jars first patented in 1858, except that the jars and lids are not threaded. During the canning process, while still hot (and presumably sterile ), the lids are secured by metal tension clips which are removed once cooled ...
