Anyone have a lid for a quart-size Ball Eclipse Wide Mo... - 12/6/2011 10:21:09 AM    DKF   Posts: 27 Joined: 11/23/2011 From: Massachusetts Status: offline I have a 1930s vintage quart-size Ball Eclipse Wide Mouth canning jar which, sadly, no longer has a lid.  Does anyone out there happen have an orphan 3" lid to fit this lovely specimen?  I know it's probably too much to ask for an orphan wire bail, as well, but one can dream.

Won't that make it tighter? I had that problem with an Atlas and couldn't use a rubber. _____________________________ Quando Omni Flunkus Moritati Eric (in reply to DKF) Post #: 4

BTW it looks like the bail is on upside down, try turning it around with the long part on top. < Message edited by coreya -- 12/12/2011 4:35:24 PM > (in reply to DKF) Post #: 6
