We have cases of bail-top quart canning jars inherited from various grandmothers and aunts. Most of them are in excellent condition and we use them with O2 absorbers for dry canning and general sealed storage. We've soaked most of the bails in vinegar to remove the oxidized zinc, rinsed, dried them in the oven quickly and then wiped them down very lightly with olive oil, which keeps them rust and oxidation free. There are a few, though that show more rust than a simple soak will remove, so we'd like to replace them. I've done quite a bit of searching, but haven't found any source for replacement bails... not really surprising. If anyone knows of a source for replacement bails, please share. These jars have so many uses. We'd love to keep them in use and in good serviceable condition. Thank you.
