I IMPLORE EVERY JADITE/ JADEITE COLLECTOR TO READ THIS GUIDE- WHEN I FIRST STARTED COLLECTING JADITE I HAD NO IDEA WHAT WAS REAL AND WHAT WAS A REPRODUCTION OR FAKE. UNFORTUNATELY I MADE THE MISTAKE AS MANY NEW COLLECTORS DO, OF PURCHASING HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS WORTH OF REPRODUCTION BRAND NEW JADITE. THERE WERE MANY SELLERS ON EBAY BACK THEN, THAT WILL SELL YOU THE JADITE AND NEVER MENTION THE SOURCE OF THAT BRAND NEW JADITE. NOTHING HAS CHANGED. HOWEVER, EBAY HAS ADDED A LINK AT THE BOTTOM OF EVERY AUCTION WHERE A BUYER CAN REPORT AN ITEM IF IT IS INTENTIONALLY MISREPRESENTED. INTENTIONALLY MISREPRESENTING AN ITEM IS AGAINST EBAY SELLER RULES! SO IF YOU SEE A BRAND NEW ITEM DESCRIBED AS OLD MCKEE JADITE OR JEANETTE JADITE FOLLOW THE LINK ON THE BOTTOM OF THE AUCTION PAGE AND REPORT THE ITEM. SOMETIMES A SELLER MAKES AN HONEST MISTAKE-SO IF A SELLER HAS MULTIPLE ITEMS LISTED AS DEPRESSION JADITE AND IT IS BRAND NEW JADITE-THEN IT SHOULD BE REPORTED. BUYERS CAN ALSO REPORT ANY OTHER ITEM THAT HAS BEEN MISREPRESENTED- IT IS CALLED FRAUD!MCKEE JADITE IS WHAT I CALL TRUE DEPRESSION JADITE. LET'S START WITH JADITE SHAKERS. TRUE DEPRESSION GLASS SHAKER MADE BY MCKEE GLASS CO. AND JEANETTE GLASS CO. WERE PRODUCED IN THE 1930'S AND CONTAIN A FLORESCENT CHEMICAL CALLED URANIUM. WHEN YOU GET YOUR JADITE CHECK IT WITH A BLACKLIGHT. IF IT IS FLORESCENT- IT IS TRUE DEPRESSION JADITE MADE IN THE 1930'S. IF IT IS FIRE KING IT WILL NOT FLORES SINCE FIRE KING WAS MADE IN THE 1940'S. BUT THERE ARE DEFINITE DIFFERENCE'S BETWEEN FIRE KING JADITE AND BRAND NEW JADITE. DON'T GET ME WRONG, I DON 'T HAVE A PROBLEM SELLING NEW JADITE (I DON'T- I SELL ONLY DEPRESSION JADITE OR FIRE KING JADITE) WHAT I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH IS THE ACT OF "FRAUD" OR MISREPRESENTING AN ITEM FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE OF DEFRAUDING THE BUYER. I RECOMMEND A REFERENCE BOOK CALLED JADITE BY KELLER AND ROSS- IT IS AN EXCELLENT TEXTBOOK REFERENCE WITH FULL COLOR PHOTO'S OF THE TRUE DEPRESSION AND FIRE KING JADITE JADEITE.  LEARN THE PATTERNS-AND LEARN THE FONTS OF THE FIRED ON PRINT. TO THE LEFT IS AN EXAMPLE OF FLORESCENT JEANETTE JADITE RIBBED SHAKERS AND A COFFEE CANISTER. LEARNING THE PATTERNS AND FONTS ARE WORTH THE INVESTMENT- THAT'S RIGHT PURCHASING DEPRESSION JADITE OR ANY OTHER RARE COLLECTIBLE IS AN INVESTMENT- HOPEFULLY WHEN WE ALL GO TO HEAVEN OR THAT OTHER PLACE!- WE CAN LEAVE OUR CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN AN AWESOME COLLECTION OF OLD GLASS-WORTH THOUSANDS! PRICES ARE INCREASING- FOR EXAMPLE- LOOK AT THE RECENT INCREASE IN US MAIL SHIPPING! WOW- I WILL BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY AND ALL QUESTIONS YOU HAVE AND I CAN ID MANY JADITE PATTERNS BY MCKEE, JEANETTE AND FIRE KING!

!

JEANETTE JADITE RIBBED SHAKERS- THERE IS A DEFINATE DIFFERANCE IN THE FONT BETWEEN JEANETTE DEPRESSION AND THE NEW JADITE RIBBED SHAKERS- JEANETTE MADE A SALT PEPPER SUGAR FLOUR- NEVER MADE THESE WITH A GARLIC PRINT

THE IS A BIG DIFFERANCE IN THE PRICE YOU WILL PAY FOR TRUE DEPRESSION JADITE AND BRAND NEW JADITE- BUT THE SHIPPING PRICES WILL PROBABLY BE ABOUT THE SAME.

HAVE A BLESSED DAY! AND GOOD LUCK ON EBAY MEETING SOME WONDERFUL PEOPLE WORLDWIDE!
