Hello jar guru's. I had a bit of luck yesterday and was wondering if yall could answer a couple of questions for me. Bout 3 years ago I dug a Gem Butter Jar 5 Lbs in perfect shape. I also dug the glass insert in good shape. Yesterday I was diggin in another Military pit that was about 10 miles from where I dug the jar and "Lo -N- Behold another Gem Butter! Unfortunately it was broken in a hundred pieces. The Zinc band and glass insert however were still there and in good shape. So now I have a complete jar and 2 inserts. My questions are: What is the jar alone worth, (I have heard anywhere from 6 to 8 hundred) What is the jar with insert and band worth, and what is just an insert worth? The jar is not for sale, but I would like to know an accurate value as I have never seen one for sale on ebay or the auction houses. I know Redbook says $750 an up. Is this accurate? Thank you, Kelley
