Hi there,

               I wonder if you could take some time to list down all your bottle size numbers, as I am trying to build a comprehensive list of the Vacola jar sizes and times when they were available as I also have a lot of jars pasted down from my Nan and have been bottling my produce for over thirty years but I know I don’t have one of every bottle but would like to achieve this goal some day ( hobbiest ).

Thanks for your time and looking forward to your reply, Greg ( fellow bottler )

Hi Greg,

This ia a great list from the ozfarmer.com website.

hello Alan,

I was ineterested to read your comments. W have only just started collecting Fowlers jars, both for our produce, but also because of the esthetics. Can you recommend where I might go to get a comprehensive list of their jars? And also where can I see image examples? Mum and her relatives used to preserve. And friends I have since spoken to were/are unaware of the fact that glass lids were also used at one stage. Do you know anything about that?

thanking you in advance, Mark

There is a full list of Vacola bottle sizes made since 1915 here:

Gosh Alan, that’s a lot of jars, and a lot of produce! I bet your neighbours have learnt who to drop in on in the dead of winter when fresh fruit is scarce. Good luck with this season’s harvest…
