Hello!
I was wondering if you would help me or point me in the right direction.
I've been collecting jars since the '70's. I never could afford the high end things, but I was a serious collector. I went to the Indy shows a number of times and spent many summer vacations traveling all over the Midwest looking for jars. I was fortunate to see Jerry McCann's collection at his house years ago. Incredible and I have many photos of his upstairs 'bedroom'!
In any event, I'm retired now and moving to a smaller home. No one in the family is interested in my beautiful jars.
I've given dozens of generic 1858 jars to local museums near here.
The most I've ever paid for a jar is a beautiful SUN at a show for $100.
I have collected much better than average jars. I love crude, whittled and color variation jars, deeper greens and shades, etc.
I have about 60-80 'common' 1858 jars, many with logos, numbers, whittled, shaded, etc. I also have 50-100 various old glass lids and other go-withs.
These need to go to collectors. I don't want or expect to get what I even paid for them, but would like to sell them wholesale to someone who knows about jars and appreciates them.
What do you think?
Thanks for your comments!
