Plain type with nothing on it at all, ball, atlas? I want to get as close as possible to the original lid. I think its amazing how many of these I've seen over the past 20 years and this is the first one with a lid on it. I have the top soaking in lemon juice. Hopefully it'll clean up decent and be usable again. Is there any other jars like this that I should look out for? Jars that could double as a canning jar? I think this is pretty cool. Thanx for the help. Swiz

Oh well. the good news is that I was able to see what the insert looks like and I thought it looked familiar. I went and looked through my other lids and found a second lid just like it. Now all I need is another jar and 2 bands and I'll have 2 complete jars. I guess this jar collecting stuff aint so bad. Swiz

Status: offline 		Actually, I think you'd be fine with "any old band that fits" so long as you're not trying to pass it off as original when you go to sell it.  i.e. a description that says "zinc band fits, but is not original".  If you find a box of correct bands, see if there's another box of bands for Flaccus jars - I figure one is about as likely as the other.  -Tammy

Status: offline 		I wasn't planning on selling them as original bands. I'd put that right in there with irridated jars and repro labels. I won't buy a frenchs jar for resale so everything I have would be considered dug and metal and dirt just don't get along too well. I think that would be as bad as filling the jar with ketchup, resealing it and advertising it as a company error made at the factory.
