[Nhcoll-l] Suppliers of wide-mouth 1000 ml screw-top glass storage jars that take plastic caps and inserts?

Sat Apr 6 16:31:23 EDT 2013

If you are considering a U.S. supplier, you might contact Wm. R. Hill 
Co., Inc. (http://wmrhill.com/), which supplies the Smithsonian.  The 
standard jar that many collections use, close to the 1,000 ml size you 
need, is 32 oz with an 89-mm mouth.

Cheers,
H.J.
