Hi all My questions are about the gem mason jars that were made in Canada, that have a mouth width of 78 mm. I know that Jarden / Bernardin attempted to cease production on the lids in 2003 but gave in to popular demand and continued making them. I also know (I think) that they came in (Imperial) pint, quart and two-quart sizes. 1. I see older Mason jars made in the States that have Gem embossed on the glass by various makers, those are different creatures, right? 2. When did the Canadian gem jars with the mouth width of 78 mm start to be made, approximately? When did their production cease, approximately? 3. Any idea why the gem jars were, apparently more popular in Western Canada than Eastern Canada?
Many thanks.
Many thanks.
