Great deal. I use the flat shelf from my pressure canner for both the pressure canner and water bath canner. The jars just fit so much better.

And there were more on the counter....
Lovely haul for only $85.00! Includes more than 16 dozen jars (with at least 2 dozen unopened still in their wrappings!), a water bath canner, food mill, funnel, tongs, and a lot of rings for both wide and regular, plus lids (don't know the age, so I'm not sure that I will keep them)

Now I have to figure out where the heck to store these things?! I don't have that much empty space!!

They look beautiful don't they!

Storage-wise, have a look in any storage areas you already have (basement, utility room, closets, under beds/furniture, any shelving) and shove 'em wherever they will fit!

Haha, no basement or attic, and pretty much all the closets and under the bed are stuff already! :p I have a LITTLE space under the couch (nothing compared to all that!) and I am thinking of rearranging my entertainment cabinet to try to shove some in there!! I hope I can figure it out soon so that I don't have to have those stacks sitting in the middle of the floor for long... they are rather inconvenient!
I am VERY glad she had them all in most of the original boxes, that made it SO much easier to move!

Time to get creative then! Can you fit a shelf in somewhere? Definitely good that you got all the boxes, most of my second-hand jars came loose.

Yes, Moolie, I am VERY Glad for boxes!
Not any empty shelves, LOL.

I do need to clean out the cabinet in the kitchen, we have a stack of 3 verticle cabinets. I have some of the jars I already collected stored in there, so I need to sort through and figure out what is available. I know there is junk shoved in there. It will be ideal if I can stack the boxes with the jars in them right into the cabinet. We'll have to see though. I just know its not going to hold 16 dozen, even if some of them are only jelly jars!!!

All my empties go in the sun room or garage.
Of which I have neither, LOL. Ehh, we'll find somewhere to stuff them. I am pretty good at stuffing things! Until I had 16 dozen jars sitting in my kitchen I had no real idea of how much space they would need. They need a lot of space, LOL
