I've moved into a new house recently and finally got most of the collection unpacked over the weekend. There appears to be only one jar casualty from the move, but it wasn't a heartbreaker. The new place has a lot more natural light than my old place and I'm amazed at how much better the color stands out than before! Sorry for the bad lighting in the pictures - I had to use flash.

I plan to build out some shelves here and add some nice backlighting:

Great jars! I see that you also like whittle. I have a few good examples in the crude collection. There would be more but whittle hides a lot of other things like swirls. From the looks of those jars, you have had the fever for a while now. Thanks for the pictures. George

Yep George, but I'd still be considered one of the "younger" collectors out there. I love the glass character as you do. I sent you one of my best whittled examples in that Marion jar a couple of months ago, but that Hemingray four from the left is really nice too as is The Leader. I really like seedy glass and colored swirls, although I sent Jim a couple of my nicest milky swirl jars last month so I could buy another jar that I really wanted.

Hopefully I'll put together a build thread for my potential display cabinet.

Yep - that Pansy fits in real nice with the "shorty" lineup even though it's a quart.
