For those of you who do not know - I hate jars. Period. Every time I think I have found a good one, it books at $1-3. But I do like my local bottles. And jars are close to bottles. And there are a couple jars from Carlisle, Pa. But take a look at the prices, and you will know more of why I hate jars. And some have that stupid gutta percha insert that breaks when you breathe on it. And try finding a Willoughby stopple in the right size. Urgh.... NOW - I may have access to a decent jar. Went to look at a house for demo and asked the owner if he had any bottles. There were crocks and jugs and various other smalls sitting around. Well he asks me if I collect jars. I tell him that I have a few. What does he have? So he asks me if I ever heard of a BELLE jar with feet on it. I have RB #10 so I see what that says. And I do not know if the lid and bail are there. Or the condition. He says he thought it was on top of a certain cupboard, but not sure where it is now. Maybe in a box somewhere. SO... What are your opinions on value both with lid and bail and without? Is the book value good in todays market? Hopefully we can locate it this week. Thanks in advance.
