Little Red Riding Hood - What's Rare and What's Not

By , About.com Guide

When looking at Little Red Riding Hood jars for sale at online auctions sometimes they can all start looking the same. But not to an avid collector! There are differences and as far as values go - it's all in the details.

Collector Brian P. researched the listings to see just what's been selling online, what qualifies as truly rare and when should you jump on a jar when it shows up.

For the purpose of this research parameters were only done for the term HULL LRRH.

Regal = patent number 135889 mark
Hull = Pat. Applied For mark

Total number of jars for that search term were 439 for sales, dating back to 2006.
