These jars took a round rubber gasket with a tab. The only source that I know of today where these rings can be found is at http://www.homecanningsupply.com/ or you can get boxes of the old gaskets on eBay. The modern two-piece metal cap and ring with a new jar is the best system for home canning. It can be dangerous to use the old lids and jars to can today.
