Mass Production Cooking/Rubber Rings

Question
I have the old time glass jars and glass lids, made by Ball and Atlas, the ones with the wire bail. Where can I get rubber rings to make the seal?
Thanks.


Answer
Hello Fred! If you visit this website address http://www.homecanningsupply.com/pages/webcat15.htm
and scroll to the bottom of the page, you will find your rings.  If there very old, however, I would check up on there value.  Some old canning jars are worth quite a bit of money to collectors.  Hope this helps.
