Greetings,

I sent out a note in December (see below) notifying the 
museum community of 3- and 5-gal surplus glass jars. I was 
able to find homes for all the 3-gal jars but still have 
~20 5-gal jars remaining (see jar on the right in the 
photo). I would like to offer them to you once more so 
this really is the final chance to acquire some 5-gal jars 
before they are disposed of. I have some mailing boxes I 
can use to pack them up so your only cost would be for 
shipping. Please let me know as soon as you can if you're 
interested.

Regards,
Cindy

Subject: [NHCOLL-L:5747] Last chance to acquire surplus 
oversized glass jars This is the final opportunity to 
acquire oversized glass jars that we have surplussed at 
the University of New Mexico Museum of Southwestern 
Biology and which will be tossed out by the end of the 
year. The 3- and 5-gal jars (see photo) previously 
contained fishes stored in ethanol. Although the jars have 
been washed they are not suitable for personal use. I'd 
prefer to find a good "museum home" for them like I was 
able to do a year ago after sending a similar email to 
NHCOLL.

Specifications for the jars are as follows:
3-gal jars: 17 inches tall x 8.5 inches diameter, weight 
10 pounds.
5-gal jars: 18 inches tall x 8.5 inches diameter, weight
13 pounds.
Both use the same metal lid, 130 mm diameter.

If you can cover the shipping and packing costs, I'm 
willing to pack them up and ship them. And you're always 
welcome to come by and pick them up. Call or write 
off-list if you have any questions.
