Phillip L. Robinson collects ball jars and more
Article Abstract:
Rev. Phillip L. Robinson found a green screw-on glass lid while clearing land at his Rockville, Indiana church and ever since then he has been a collector of glass jars. As his collection grew by insurmountable numbers, he became fascinated with the variety, color, shape and history of each jar and aside from collecting, he makes jar parts for collectors needing such items by fabricating them in his home workshop with a sledgehammer using stainless steel sheets and wire.
