If those 1930’s jars could talk, they would certainly have a tale to tell and I would dearly love to hear every moment of it. Love all of your treasures Toni, thank you for sharing ❣️👍
Only another canner understands your joy. I have had boxes of crown and corona jars that I never used but this year was my first year. I was gifted bushels of grapes so made grape juice in them. There is a learning curve but the nice thing about juice is that if you get a seal failure it’s quick to run them back through again. I don’t know why but I found that the red rubber rings sealed better than the white ones. They look exactly the same to me but that was my experience. I love the look of my new jars filled with juice and will certainly continue to do so in the future. I even got three crown half gallon jars which I had never seen before. My box came all mixed up and the only tip I would offer is to keep the crown glass lids on the crown jars and not to interchange the brands. Even though they appear to screw on tightly those were the ones that didn’t always seal. But some of them did so it may just be the way I screwed them on. When bags of cranberries come on clearance after Christmas I’ll be making loads of cranberry juice in my old crown and corona jars as well. Good luck.
Annie Davis...It is so Awesome that you made use of Boxes of these old jars...and yes I do understand that there is a learning curve to using them...Hoping for the best when I use them too!
Good morning Toni! You just tickle me with these videos from thrifting. You just light up!! It's nice to watch someone that really enjoys what they're doing. Your hair looks really pretty today as well. Have a blessed day!
Sandi Jammes...Thank You...I'm one of those people that have good hair days and bad hair days, but usually it just take a small bit of effort to get it under control!!
You found some great stuff as usual. I am going to try to plan a trip for first week in January to a big thrift store. I love watching your thrift finds but it reminds me how much I miss it. 😂 Looking forward to you testing video. 🕊
Barbara in Alabama...Yes, I do find "some" better stuff at the "larger" store, but you can never tell...It does come down to what an individual donates/drops off that day/that week.
Hi Toni. Finally caught up with you and your videos! Been so busy with home reno stuff, quilting, baking etc. Nice grab on that pastry roller. I am still using Mom's and just can't seem to part with it. I did up a few of the old glass ball jars with a light pink chalk paint, sanded off some hi-lights, then adorned them with a nice ribbon and the antique silver bells we wore on our skates for each of my granddaughters. I also use them at the holiday season, filled with almost anything, as the large silver rings look beautiful. I have gifted several, to special people of course. Take care, and hello Mark. Hope to see a few ice fishing videos with you and your buddies.
Oh wow! What treasures. I live in a Mormon area and anything related to food preservation just doesn't come up for sale in thrift stores or yard sales. How lucky you are!
My mom was going to get rid of her old canning equipment because she doesn't can anymore. I told her to keep it so I can have it. I'm going to brush the dust off and relearn what I was taught when I was a kid. I never paid attention because I didn't think it was something that I would ever use. Luckily, I remember more than I forgot.
Lovely finds at the thrift store. I have a number of the old jars with glass tops which I’ve only used for water bath canning, when you add ring to jar just make sure it is in full contact with the glass, add the glass lid and finger tighten ring then another partial twist of ring to ensure a snug contact with the lid. I look forward to seeing your experiment with these jars.
Harriet Martens...Thank You, that's very helpful, as this is the first time I will try to use these old jars with glass lids...I know that there are lots of them around and many people still use them.
Just one more suggestion, my mother always put the rubber ring on the lid first before applying it to the jars when filling. She used the Canadian made Gem Brand. She may had other brands in her collection, I don’t quite remember.
Esther Cooper...Thank You...however there is no way to put the rubber gasket on the glass lid on the corona and crown jars, it actually seats on the shoulder of the jar, and the glass lid seats on the rubber gasket...HOWEVER these are NOT GEM type Jars and that's perhaps where the difference occurs.
Wow! What a great haul! You are a brave lady experimenting with jars from 1931. Have you considered doing a test with plain water or coloured water? You will not lose any produce if the jars break under pressure. I am so used to hearing the ping of vacuum sealing I would be afraid the jar was not sealed if I didn't hear it or see it. New canner here so still very cautious. LOL
Gale Maurer..hehe...I don't expect the jars to break under pressure, but one never knows! Well dry beans are not terribly expensive, so if I have a mishap...the worse part will be cleaning up the mess. My belief is that it will be similar to canning using tattler lids..ie: no "ping" It is WISE to be cautious as a new canner...
Can't wait to see your test on the Corona Jars. However, you should test with water first. No sense in wasting food, if you can help it. Awesome finds! We rarely ever find canning jars, these days in a thrft store. Yes! I would prefer the glass canning lids over the metal ones any day! I am slowly switching over to tattlers and really like them. But they are so expensive!
I Water Bath & Pressure can with Crown/Corona, I don’t preheat the rubber and rings, no difference. I have tried many different ways with water at first. Seal them tight and go back 1/4 inch, then tighten fully once out of the pressure canner or water bath. I have done many, many jars now with Crown and love them. To open them my husband made us a tool with a box cutter blade with the 1/8 radius ground on the tip and sharp edge fully dulled. It takes 15 second approximately to open a jar. Let the air go in slowly to bread the seal. I am in the GTA. The Corona glass lids are not at good as the Crown for sealing. Never having to purchase lids. Use only the aluminum type rings (no zinc - it react/toxic with vinegar). Hope you enjoy them as I do!!! They look beautiful on the shelves!!!!
Gisele Lavallee...Interesting that you don't heat the rubber gaskets...and the rest of it sounds just like the instructions for use with Harvest Guard and Tattlers...Thank You for that information!!
Pressure canning was available in the 30’s. My grandmother tried it once and opened the pressure canner too early and scared herself so badly that she never did it again. My mother was very worried when I bought my pressure canner 15 years ago and told me the story.
Liz P...I think a lot of people were scared off using pressure canners after hearing stories like your grandmother's...I can assure you I was REAL nervous the first few times I used one!
I haven't seen Corona jars where I live in the US (California), and you're finding jars for a better price than I do. However, I still think it's worth shopping for canning jars at thrift stores since new ones are getting harder to find at any price. I love your videos.
Stacey...Corona, Crown and Gem are old Canadian brands...In the US you likely have the equivalent "glass lid" type Jars...wait for it....made by Ball !!
Why don’t you can water the first time? That way if one breaks you won’t loose any product. The way we used to can with the glass lids was to tighten them then back them off a quarter turn. So the tattler technique should work just fine. Good luck and have fun. :)
@@HerHomesteadSkills When I canned using the zinc lids on early 1900s ball jars, I found old instructions and before processing I tightened the lids then backed off 1/4 inch. You might find some 90 year old instructions in an online book somewhere. but it is probably similar, no finger tight which means something different to each set of fingers, lol.
I just went down the color Mason jar rabbit hole. On eBay people are selling the pints for $15 and over $20 for a quart. Someone is selling a lot of 3 pint jars blue, green and purple for $65. The French rolling pin is expensive I bought mine from Sur LaTable. Looks like someone was cleaning out an elder person's house. Nice score Toni.
That's about the going price at antique shops as well..and I suspect age, color and brand has some bearing on the asking price...or perhaps it's just what the seller thinks they can get!! :-) enjoy them, they are beautiful!!
I was just gifted 2 large boxes of Jars Jewels, Crown, Imperial Mostly litres and 500ml jars. most are glass tops I also just learned that Bernardin has discontinued the metal rings for them, but I think the standard rings and lids would work, don't you?
they only made the lids and rings for Gem jars which were a transition product and could use either glass or metal lids, and if you look around you may find the odd box in a Canadian tire store somewhere...Nope they are a different size than the wide or regular mouth rings...You can however get the rubber gaskets at can tire for the crown jars etc at @1.99 a box of 12.
1915 Alexander Kerr files for his patent on the disposable pressure canning lid (whatever that means 😂😂😂) 1917 the U.S. Agriculture dept declared that pressure canning low acid foods was the only safe way in home preservation. (They knew about botulism even then!) 1931 12 people in one family died of botulism from poorly home canned foods. Canning started to wane after refrigerators became more reliable in the 1950's. A resurge in home canning started in the 1970's. 1977 saw the largest case of botulism that effected 59 people who ate home canned salsa that was used at a Mexican style restaurant. 1996 it was determined that there were many unsafe practices of home canning. (Fascinating little timeline of research... 1858 the first mason jar was patented and 1889 Ball opened their own line.) I'm excited to see the results but worried too! 👀😂 But who knows now that it's clear that there were pressure canners back in the 1930's! Nice find!
Susie. Goodwin...Thanks for the history, that stuff is always interesting...I do expect that either the jars will seal or they will not...and if they don't "lol" I won't be putting them in the pantry!!! I believe that the industry went away from glass lids because of more failures to "seal" whereas the new-fangled disposable metal lids had a greater "sealing" success rate...No worries the worse thing that can happen is the glass breaking in the canner, and that is just a messy clean up job!
Hello. I was hoping you could help me out with identifying some mason jars that I recently found in an old farmhouse. I found several jars with the name ""Longlife" at a 45 degree angle. The bottoms of the jars say Lauren's Glass company. They seem nearly identical to a Ball jar, all the way down to the graduations and the fruit and vegetable embossing.
I have the Crown jars with glass lids too but I have been afraid to use them to can. Would love to know if they're just as good. Glass lids means getting away from the plastic lid which we all know is not good for us.
jimmey011...well NEW rubber sealing rings are available at "Canadian Tire" stores, there is a bit of a learning curve to using these and a higher failure rate, but the ones that seal are a gorgeous sight too see.
I've had a difficult time trying to find the rubber bands. Most everything is silicone and are only for dry storage. What brand are you using? The box doesn't look familiar. Thanks!

How exciting! I'm anxious for you to test these canning jars. I thoroughly enjoy your videos, Toni.
Cheryl Miller...I will have a video out soon!!! oh and Thank You!!

Diane Tucker...Yes, I'm with you on that one! Thank You for Watching!
Great finds - my sister just bought a piece of property that had an old barn full of jars - I was like those r mine 🤗
Jimisuec...Lucky You if she gives them up!!!...Great for your sister acquiring a new property with an old barn too!!!

Very exciting! Such a wide variety of jars Toni. Can’t wait for the follow up☺️👏
All Sorts...Thanks so much! 😊
Glad to see you so happy about your wonderful shopping find! I can't wait to hear what happens when you can the beans in the old jars and lids.
Lynlee Grace....Me too!! hoping they all seal!!
Never too many jars--and these are so special.
MQ...Yes I think so too!
Hi Toni
You find the best stuff! You have a great eye for spotting great items! Love seeing your little treasures!
Cc December2018... We must have similar tastes, as there is so much other people buy that I would not bother with....Thank you so much!
Good morning Toni! You just tickle me with these videos from thrifting. You just light up!! It's nice to watch someone that really enjoys what they're doing. Your hair looks really pretty today as well. Have a blessed day!

What a score Toni! I wish I were in Canada thrifting with you. I hope your beans love these beautiful jars as much as you do!
KAT O...Me too..Thank You!!
Thank you for the interesting video looking forward to the one that your going to try the Jars out.♥️

Marilyn Baker...ah yes...that's understandable then!! they likely pass those things along to members of their own community.
@@HerHomesteadSkills You are so right!
Thanks for video! Never seen a crown jar before. They’re very nice !☺️
TheBobelly628...Actually they are still fairly common here..but mostly found in antique shops for a lot of money!

I will love to see that video for the glass lids ,I have some too.
Me too, my Mum had a bunch of those types of jars. I'll definitely snag them when I know what I'm doing, lol.
madelline santana...Yup, I believe some people have lots of them too!! Video coming soon!!
Can’t wait to see the video. I never find jars where I am.

The weck clips and gaskets are reasonably price and fairly easy to order off the internet. Look forward to future experiments!
Gidget Hale...Thanks, good to know that gaskets and clips are available...I don't see many Weck Jars here.

I have some of the old gem quart jars, filled a couple of them with beach pebbles and turned them into lamps.
Deb Samler...hehe...always useful!!!
Those jars should work fine, very much like using a tatler. It will look so good that you will have to display them for visitors to see.

I bought a case of Presto jars and glass tops for $5.00 . Are they worth anything?
Things are normally worth what someone will pay for them...but use this for reference: www.etsy.com/ca/market/presto_mason_jar
Are you ever concerned about the vintage glass jars containing lead?
no, but I really don't use them for canning very often...
