Product Description
This book is probably the best selling jar and bottle book ever published. It shows an illustration of each embossing on the front of the jar. Each jar has such information as size, color, closure and value. 2005 values. AUTHORBIO: In the 1960s Bill Schroeder spent his spare time buying and selling rare coins, silver, gold, limited edition prints, and other. When the coin market weakened in 1964, he sold his coin business and focused his attention on old canning jars. He began Collector Books, a division of Schroeder publishing company, with his book, 1,000 Fruit Jars. REVIEW: This book has become a standard in the collecting field, staying in print for more than 20 years. Drawings of actual fruit jar emblems are included in this handy pocket reference. This book began Collector Books, a division of Schroeder Publishing Co., Inc.

This book is just what I needed on my many excursions to garage/estate sales. I have been able to determine better purchases for my collection by referencing my book on my outings. The images are in alphabetical order and are drawn precicely as they are seen on the jars. Info on jar colors for each embossed design is available too. A MUST HAVE for the avid jar collector!!

This book, One Thousand Fruit Jars, was just what I needed to sort out a horde of old fruit jars from my aunt's estate. Wonderful drawings and values. Helped me 100%.

Great little book for identifying all those jars you buy at auctions for a buck a box. Alphabetized, clear images exactly as they appear on the jars, even comparative values for many choices per brand by color.
It's not a coffee table book, it's a throw it in your bag and take to the sale book. Perfect!

This is a great little book to help identify all the differences in your fruit jar collection. All the different embossings are drawn out for you to identify - like all the different Ball fruit jar embossings. It helped us beginning jar collectors! Also has prices for all the different jars.
