Hi All,
Just to clarify. Sorry to be vague. They cases are about 3 cm in diameter
and about 2 cm in
height. Hard clear plastic with a very small tiny dot in the middle of the
bottom of the clear plastic where the plastic was formed. Has hard white
plastic screw-on top. Very nice----kind of like a small HARD PLASTIC
cosmetic gem jar.

The price is a different matter kind of. I literally have soooooo many of
them, the weight itself of the bags would be quite a bit to ship thru the
mail----like maybe $10.00 or so---not really sure. The price per unit is
negotiable of course. I guess you would have to make an offer?? These are
really nice.

Thanks Again!!
Kirk......:-)
