The jars are mostly the bail wire two-piece glass. There are a very few blue ones. I know they're not trash, but I really can't be bothered with mailing them. Fpr awhile, the rubber sealing rings were completely unavailable, but now they'r available again online. They're not headed to the trash. The project is to empty them, clean them, and decide just how many to keep. I have several quarts of grape juice from last year still. They seal fine.

The postcards will be sold, too. I have several regular customers, since I have yardsales rather regularly. Greeting cards, too, sell, even if they're used. I'll keep just the one postcard, since it seems so iconic. The letters will be a winter project - I'll scan them to disk. Finding a buyer will probably be a bit of a chore. I have LOTS of old paper, and it's hard to predict what people will pay for (even when the price is very low). Mostly, they like to touch it and sift through it, which eventually does more damage than good. Today will be interesting - I expect a crowd deprived of sales by weather (both heat and rain) and lots of competition from sales held back by the same weather.

The scanning company was a failure. They scan oversize stuff (mostly blueprints), but they have a roller-feed machine, which will shred the old newspapers. I have to find someone with a large-scale flatbed scanner. It looks like there's one half-way up the state, in Laconia.
