Hello, I discovered this forum while searching around to find a free (not pirated, just something that has been published via public domain) ebook (.PDF) for finding information on checking prices of Mason Jars and collector's guides in general. I apologize if I'm posting in the wrong sub-forum, if I am, I'd appreciate it if the topic is moved the appropriate place and if anyone can shoot me some information in regards of posting on this site, I'll read over it.
Before anyone asks, I am vehemently against piracy of copyrighted material; with that said, I'm just looking for information that is public domain. As a jack of all trades in regards of designing websites, programs, etc etc, I'm against piracy or anything illegal.
Okay, I'm attempting to help an elderly neighbor find the information they need to price the jars that they have as well as the ones he has coming in the mail that was purchased from eBay.
So far, I've gathered that the Red Book No. XX The Collectors Guide to Old Fruit Jars is a great resource for what they need to figure out what they need to know; however, I'm not entirely sure on which iteration of that book is the way to go and the various differences between them. With that said, the person I'm trying to help is lacking the money needed to purchase such books at the moment, so I'm looking for an alternative means of accomplishing price checking, and collector's guides in general.
With all of that said above, could anyone please provide information for any web resources that will help them get the gist of what they need to know for the time being until we can procure the books. Anything advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
I'm really sorry if my ignorance of this subject poses any sort of problem with some of the members here; I understand it could be a pain to help someone out that has no idea about jar collecting.
Any information or advice would be greatly appreciated, and it'd really help my neighbor.
Sincerely, Nemmay
Note: If more information is required, just ask; I'll walk downstairs to my neighbors apartment and get the information that's needed. They would have probably attempted to make a post themselves, but due to various health complications, they wouldn't be able to type everything that's needed for the post.
