<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi all,<br>
<br>
Vienna based Stoezle Oberglass has a branch in the US:<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.stoelzle.com_en-2Dstoelzle-5Fusa-2D139.html&d=CwMD-g&c=-dg2m7zWuuDZ0MUcV7Sdqw&r=CLFZJ3fvGSmDp7xK1dNZfh6uGV_h-8NVlo3fXNoRNzI&m=OJ9ImuMuZIPWjvo0vjYgzU31cX9uGZwqHeH_T3x7mRQ&s=ONsC3X8leYZc6Cd_20OZt75YHbAxjYUdgGW3pBR_d1I&e=">http://www.stoelzle.com/en-stoelzle_usa-139.html</a><br>
<br>
They are producing & supplying European museums with high
quality borosilicate ground stopper jars and have been customising
jars for the Vienna museum for many years. Larger jars have a
opening of 20 cm and are either 40 or 60 cm tall.<br>
<br>
It might be worth exploring if it is possible to order these jars
via the New York branch. <br>
<br>
<br>
The other option that works really well & good (e.g. for
stingrays up to a diameter of 35-40 cm or larger sharks with up to
120 cm) are Schott borosilicate glass tubes; you only need to find
a company that can melt those tubes (e.g. in Munich there are two
companies which offer this possibility). We have been customising
our wide-neck jars for many years with very good results
(excellent monitoring, significant decrease of evaporation
losses). <br>
<br>
All the best<br>
Dirk<br>

although these do not seal very well and long term exposure

gallon jars with the same footprint as a gallon jar (just
half the height) that we purchase from Kols Containers for

<p class="MsoNormal">Hello all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m having trouble finding a source of
large jars for wide fish specimens. Many of the gallon jars
have such a narrow opening that we can’t fish wide fish
through them, and if we want something in a smaller volume
but still with a wide diameter and wide mouth, that’s even
harder to find. I’ve searched the suppliers list on the
SPNHC site to no avail--the widest mouth I can find is 120
mm. <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">While I”m inquiring, I’d also be
interested in short but wide jars for snakes. We have many
snakes in gallon (4L) jars, but these waste a lot of shelf
height because the coiled snakes are less than 2” (50 mm) in
height. We only need a jar that is 1/2 or 1/3 of the height
of a standard gallon jar. Do jars exist that are 150-200 mm
in diameter and about the same height?<o:p></o:p></p>
