Jam Jar Lids

Jam Jar Lids

Jam Jar Lids

(OP)
This may sound simple but we are looking for a company that make jam jar lids approx 2" dia. we have looked on the web but have no luck as yet, can anyone help?

Thanks.

RE: Jam Jar Lids

"Ball" is the brand I remember from my childhood for the flat lids and sealing rings. The logo is (was?) identical to that of Ball Aerospace, I believe (old style script rsing to the right) so maybe it is the same company.

Hope that gives you something to go on.

Good luck

RE: Jam Jar Lids

After sending my first post, I tried Google; I don't know about the size, but I think this is close - jump to end to see name of current mfgr, and by all means let me know if this is what you were looking for:

"A Source for Hard to Find Lids

Phyllis Flanigan asked where her client could find #63 canningjar lids for "jelly jars."  These jelly jars are actually referred to as "table jars."  Manufactured by Ball and sold in the 1950's, the jars have a quilted pattern, slightly tapered opening, and hold slightly less than 1/2 pint.  
Number 63 jar lids (and rings) can be ordered through the
"Gardener's Kitchen," P.O. Box 412, Dept. 90; Farmingham, CT
06034.  Ten dozen #63 lids cost $11.50, postage paid.  Two dozen #63 lids and rings cost $8.25. ppd.  The Gardener's Kitchen also sells standard and widemouth jar lids and rings, and canning labels.

Lids are produced by the Bristol Flowde Gasket Co., Waterbury CT.
