First starting out its great.....as with me....I kinda completed ALOT of the IMPROVED series pretty quick...but as the collection grew...then ya start getting into the odd and harder to find jars.... But its a blast...meeting great people along the way...that is the best part.... And that sign is great.....

However, I have added a couple of jars to the list.....the first is RB #10 #227-9...Clear hg mason shoulder seal....BALLL IMPROVED NASON..spelling error...reversed "N".....THIS jar will be a tough one....I have just recently aquired the improved closure (#227-8) variation....very pleased with it.... The second...although lists in the RB, many believe it does not exist....#219-5 BALLL IMPROVED 3-L square quart jar....it lists for $20 to $40..but again, if it does, it would go for a quantum leap more than RB states..
