Russ, Tom & Anybody else with help,

The picture is of the "old style" jar with the rings in front of it. I guess
I'm showing my age  when I tell you that when I lived at home we had a
canning weekend and used these "bail type" jars until these seals became
scarce. Supposedly there was a big problem with these seals. I remember
having to cull out a few jars of the hundred or more we put up back then. Of
the thirty jars of peppers I put up last year I did not lose a one.
  I do not want to clog up this list with this topic so please E-mail me
directly with any information & feel free to contact me on my methods to
"Recycle & Reuse" these antiques.
    Paul
