[Nhcoll-l] LARGE museum jars

[Bentley, Andrew Charles]

William

I have tried that.  I contacted O’Berk Kols containers and they got in touch with their suppliers.  Unfortunately we are such small fish in the glass jar world that even if a large number of our museums got together and purchased, it still wouldn’t be worth them resurrecting the mold.  This was some time ago but if there is enough interest I am happy to try again to see if anything has changed.

Hello,

                This does seem to come up regularly. It is somewhat of a niche market but seems like it should be big enough for at least one company to offer an acceptable option that would satisfy most needs. If everyone got together and had a big enough order would one of the supply companies due a limited run? It’s not something I use at my current institution but have in the past.

Good luck.  This topic has come up many times over the years and no one has been able to find a vendor that still fabricates or sells jars larger than gallons.  Two alternatives that folks have been using are stainless steel tanks or polycarbonate storage pails from University Products - https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.universityproducts.com_polycarbonate-2Dstorage-2Dpails-2Dfor-2Dwet-2Dcollections.html&d=CwIGaQ&c=-dg2m7zWuuDZ0MUcV7Sdqw&r=CLFZJ3fvGSmDp7xK1dNZfh6uGV_h-8NVlo3fXNoRNzI&m=5PGIVE4G34cw8w0C6LCjzwbGsysei92qDkH3_VNrVvI&s=TpMiAG-gvBsKcSki3uZjbynl2GTkw2EpoyNewVg7yjk&e= <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.universityproducts.com_polycarbonate-2Dstorage-2Dpails-2Dfor-2Dwet-2Dcollections.html&d=CwMGaQ&c=-dg2m7zWuuDZ0MUcV7Sdqw&r=CLFZJ3fvGSmDp7xK1dNZfh6uGV_h-8NVlo3fXNoRNzI&m=We781OrX8AX_uRGlBnDlQQC__BZZZDnMeZBhIPIwDtA&s=Lj9HSbupDEg7TJQ8CYj8syYpaoRLi53lMahHv5WHPS0&e=>.  They do not seal very well but I know some folks who are using them.

Subject: [Nhcoll-l] LARGE museum jars

Hi folks.

I am looking for large, museum quality, glass storage jars; preferably with Polyethylene lined caps and (wishful thinking on this part)… straight sides.

I am interested in jars 128 oz or greater up to 512 oz.

Can anyone help?

Thanks
Jay
