Welcome to my Fruit Jar Collector Web Site. My name is Phil Murphy and I'm an avid collector of fruit jars. My hope is that this site provides an amatuer's attempt at educating and providing a general overview of the fruit jar collecting hobby. I hope you enjoy the site and am always looking for feedback to improve it.
Before selling that unusual, one off jar be sure to contact me. I'm always looking to add quality jars to my collection. Alternatively, I do have jars for sale from time to time. I strive to be fair and honest in pricing and transactions. Be sure to contact me if there is something you might be looking for. You can contact me at:
