I remember getting things in the zinc-topped jars from my aunt; they always had wax melted on top of the contents.

(I’ve added you to the list; and I’ve always loved your sig ;-)

Thank you for adding me. Your tagline ain’t too shabby, either! ;)

I remember Grandma using JUST a wax seal on her jelly jars; it was always a TREAT to get to lick clean, then chew up, that wax seal. Yep. We were too poor for, ‘fancy’ toxic zinc lids back then, LOL!
