A Collector's Guide to Ball Jars

With a resurging interest in the home preservation of foods and the elevation of the earlier types of fruit jars to prize collectors' items, a book on the subject of home canning jars- and particularly Ball jars- is most timely. ....This book is an informative and interesting guidebook to collectors. Students of the social sciences, economists and historians will find it to be an excellent source of materials for research and studies. It will be equally informative and interesting as well as just plain good reading for the average person who may be interested in the story of a simple, commonplace household item that has played an important role in the development of our country and from which has grown a successful, worldwide enterprise.
