Jar Man

In Muncie, Indiana, there is a man who started collecting mason jars in 1971. He started by finding a glass screw-on lid for an old jar. He now claims to have the largest mason jar collection in the world. They reside in a one-story building next to his home, which he will gladly take visitors through on request. On just about any nice day he sells his surplus jars in his front yard. A couple of years ago, he finally found the jar he started looking for in 1971 and bought it for over 700 dollars.
