I have a question for the group, and if not mistaken it has been asked before. Since there seems to be a lot of new collectors getting in the hobby, I though it would be interesting to bring it up again. Knowing the rarity of some jars, and the way the market is for them, would you buy a damaged rare jar for your collection? As for me, the answer would be yes. I have gotten two great little pint jars the past couple months that if not damaged would have been WELL out of my reach without question. I personally can deal with imperfections to a jar to be able to have it my shelf until I can (by some miracle) get a better specimen when I hit the lottery. One was a #2183 square shoulder MILLVILLE pint with a chip out of the sealing channel and the other was a recent purchase, that lip repaired #474 F. & J. BODINE PHILADa aqua pint that ended on eBay last night. David aka dygger60
