A couple of people asked to see my jake collection so here it is, all of 'em. I only have 33 different ones, meager compared to sloughducks 168+.

Sweet collection, gotta love themes!

Great to finally see them all! I didn't know Hostetter's made a Jamaica Ginger.....very cool!

Thanks for showing them.

Which one of the San Francisco ones is the rarest one that you have?
I want to find an E.G Lyons sometime.

I "think" the Crane & Brigham is the rarest out the ones I have but I'm not 100% sure. Maybe Lordbud or Sloughduck will know for sure.
Yeah, there are a few varients of the Hostetters jake. I had three different ones once but at the time I didn't keep varients and I sold two on ebay. One had a flared lip and the other a tooled lip.

I'm curious about the Folger's. I'm wondering if there is any connection to Folgers coffee?

On that Lyons, what looks like a crack on the neck is actually drippy glass from when it was made.

Hey Tim
I did a search and found that it is connected to the coffee company which had locations in SF, CA and Kansas City.
"This three pound coffee tin can is marked, J. A. FOLGER & CO. Kansas City and San Francisco. It is named COMRADE steel cut COFFEE."

Thanks Doug, I'd always wondered but that's as far as it went[

] I'm glad to know the answer.

I will defer to Sloughduck's knowledge of relative rarity as his collection far outshines my modest gathering of Western jakes.
I have a couple Turner's variants embossed "S.F." rather than New York, very likely the same company...?
My collection numbers 35 including multiple examples of E.G. Lyons and McMillan & Kester, two Redingtons with different lips, etc.
Need to find that box and take some pictures...
