Spice racks...Digsmed
Hello,

Question for you all, maybe someone can help. I recently purchased a Digsmed wheel spice rack unfortunately it's missing the 16 spice jars. I'm having a hard time finding some that will fit, anyone, anyone?

Are you willing to try plastic?
I found that the Paderno plastic spice bottles I had in my cupboard fit mine well. They may not be my first choice replacement of the original glass bottles, but they work just fine in the interim. If you're in Canada, Home Hardware has a lot of great Paderno sales. Hope that helps.

Hi Jamey
Thanks for replying to my posting, I'm wondering if I can find these in California. Plastic or glass I just want to be able to use it. I will look into it. Thank you again.

I am on the same boat as you. I read that the Spike brand seasoning bottles do fit. These are sold at Whole Foods and I am yet to try them. They do not have the same shape and are a little longer though but if you buy them all the same I think you'd be alright. They are made of glass.

I think I actually have a bunch of these*.
Will double-check this today then let you know this evening.

*The original glass Digsmed jars, not the various spice brand jars mentioned above.

I had to look it up.
Weird. You hang this on the wall, spin it, and unscrew each little
jar when you need a spice?
I suppose it is decorative for the most part.

Rack missing the spice.
Yes, that would be the one; I've yet to find replacements. I just read someone suggested Whole foods; I might have to head there and try them out.

@rockland It's very...
@rockland It's very functional actually. You spin it and unscrew the bottom one. Simple. It's a space saver, and it's very decorative. Really love this thing.

@everyone else. This came with different bottles I guess depending on the year. Some bottles are straight and some are shaped. I guess more ergonomic.

The shape of the wood also varies. The one pictured above has all straight lines but mine has curved lines even on the stem/extender that connects the tops to the inner circle.

There's even a plastic version.

Mine looks like the first photo I'm posting. But that image is from ebay. not mine. You can see the shape of the bottles, connectors and bottle holders.

Still need to try the Spike bottles.

Confirmation!
Just to confirm, the Spike bottles do fit perfectly. As you can see, not the most pleasing shape It has this texture at the end of the top and bottom of the bottles. And in my case, does not match the other ergonomic bottles. But for the time being, I think it'll do just fine.

I have seven of the curvy ones-- along with the wood tops.
I found these bottles with a broken, discarded Digsmed wheel once. Since I know they're hard to come by, I kept them on principle (which is out-of-character, since I also disapprove of hoarding, on principle).

Maybe DA will forgive my offering these in the forum-- my objective's only to reunite these bottles with spice racks.

I'll earmark one for Riki (if this is the variety you need) but the other six are up for grabs. Anyone interested should post your email address and I'll contact you.

EDIT: no more bottles, all given away.

mine are the straight-sided kind like in Rockland's picture, but thanks for checking.

For others with a Digsmed wheel, the reason mine broke was because the glue dried out around the dowel, separated from the wheel itself and shot across the room. So, check your glue joints before you spin it with too much gusto!

That's an
undersized dowel, for the load of cap and bottle and the live loads imposed by use. The maker(s) may not have taken all that into account. In my work a dowel or tenon is always deeper than it is wide -- with the idea of mechanically preventing any chance of movement, which is the start of joint failure.

Still, it's a neat design.

I know I am late to the conversation, but...
I am on the lookout for one of the "ergonomic" style bottles. Any chance of tracking one of these down?

Is this what you mean?
The jar part looks like the ones upthread. These didn't sell. It's worth asking the seller if they're still available.

If not, it's also worth setting up a saved search on Ebay for "digsmed spice". You can opt for getting an email whenever a new listing is added.

Straight bottles
My mother's 12 jar Digsmed wheel is missing one jar due to a very bad cat. Does anyone have any straight sided jars they would like to sell...or any idea where I can find a replacement? I'd be happy to buy as many as possible. Thank You, TK Grant

I'm a Disgmed Hoarder
Hello again SMGSwank,

I have another spice wheel on the way for my cottage, so I'll be on the hunt again for extra bottles. I'll keep you posted as this has become a serious mission now. Any luck on your end?

Straight cylinder jars available
Hello all; I know this is an old thread, but I just stumbled on this when I was looking for sites or blogs concerning Danish Modern Teak furniture.

If any of you come back and revisit this thread, I have some straight/cylinder shaped Digsmed 1964 bottles I'm willing to part out/give away. I have a twelve jar wheel and a case of eleven extra jars that my parents bought when we lived in Germany back in the mid '60s (along with a huge load of Danish teak furniture). I'm comfortable meting out a total of eight jars. This offer is for those of you, like TK1967 and Riki, who only need one or two jars to complete your wheel. Please don't contact me if you need more than two because it wouldn't be fair to those who have obviously been more careful with their sets over the years. I'm willing to give these out for only the cost of shipping. I'm not here to scalp anyone, but merely to help you get back to a complete wheel.

We're lucky to have only broken one jar out of twenty four over the years. As an Air Force family, we've wagged this stuff all over the planet. It's strange to me that my mom had the foresight to buy an extra set of jars considering the fact that she has never been one to plan ahead for anything.

My contact information: anarisuto(at)gmail.com
Put 'spice rack' in the subject and give me a holler. Please be patient if I don't reply quickly, as I am somewhat of a slacker when it comes to checking my email on a timely basis. David

jars
Well, I have two remaining jars to give out. I've shipped three sets of two each. Please remember that I'm shipping on an honor system basis. I've had two shipments paid and one not paid. Please only request the jars if you can at least pay shipping. It's about $6 to ship two jars. The jars are free. I just need to cover shipping cost. Thanks.

Apparently luvmydigsmed isn't following this thread or is no longer in need of the two jars. I still have two straight sided jars packed and ready to ship, if anyone is in need.

re: Replacement Jar for Digsmed spice wheel
I have a Digsmed spice wheel and I am missing one (1) jar. I would be happy to pay for the replacement and shipping so I can use this again in my kitchen. Thanks for your kindness in a response. My spice wheel is from the 1960s and the jars are the straight sided ones. Missing just one and really I am missing it! Thanks, Michele
