Let's see 1 of your unusuaal jars....

Not a one Cindy. A few condiment jars that had the wide mouth. I believed them to be pickles but none with embossment or the typical BHill or Cathedral styles. Dug a pretty cool French mustard once. Kelley

I know I said this before but man I like that jar. I have dug alot of jars but never a Gem Butter jar.

I've enjoyed seeing everyone's favorites, I couldn't whittle mine down to just one. Here's a photo of 3 of my favorite California jars. From the left - H. Levi & Co. Epicurean Delicacies, Wellman Peck & Co.(both San Francisco) and Southern California Packing Co. Los Angeles. None of these are in Redbook 9 except for the last one, but it's not listed in this small size. They all have glass inserts that resemble the intricate front embossing. If Redbook 10 doesn't list them, guess it'll be time to send some pics to Doug Leybourne. -Tammy

Those are all very nice - I especially like the third one - is that a tree in the center of the embossing?? Are those half pint jars?

 

[jarsnstuff]

Yes, that's a palm tree on the last one. The first two hold about a pint, they're comparable in size to the Flaccus jars. The third one holds about 12 ounces. -Thanks! -Tammy

Wow Tammy those are great jars. I can see why they are your favorites.

Hi Tammy, very nice jars. Very nice pics. Are you married to Warren? If you are...........you two are probably both in Muncie today. Wish I could have been. Congrats on your jars. Paul

Hi Paul, Well, I do know Warren, and we both do live in CA, but I'm married to Ron. Winter shows in Muncie aren't big on our list. We're both (that's Ron & I) from IN originally so I know what January can be. Maybe see you at a July show in '08 or '09. -Tammy

Hi Tammy, ooops, faux pas on the husband, sorry. I couldn't make it to the Muncie show either. Too many other obligations, covering for another guy at work, spent ALL my extra money on a local real photograph collection of Niles Michigan Friday night.

Anyway, my friend went to the show and brought me back a copy of the new redbook #10. About 50 extra pages. The cost is $40.

My friend had a ball at Muncie and he had a good time selling and buying. I will try and make the July show and hope to meet you and your husband in person.

What is your main focus in jar collecting? Good luck with your collection and best regards. Paul []
