But what style is a Ball Jar?

If Ball makes a Mason jar, its still a Mason jar, so are all other jars made by Ball just ambiguously "Ball" jars? Or is there a specific design that is referred to as a Ball jar?

Well, currently Ball doesn't make any jars, as I understand it. And I don't think it's in Muncie anymore either. So the term is just a holdover.
