I remember those old zinc tops but don’t think I have one of them. Thanks for the information on how to date the jars. I don’t think I’ll ever part with them. There is way too much sentimental value for me to do that.
I was VERY surprised at how old some of mine were, once I figured out that it was the ‘logo’ that gave me the manufacturing dates. One is 120 years old and not a single chip, and still with her original lid. What are the odds?
I sure would like to find some of the colored jars in a forgotten attic Estate Sale one day! :)
