I have 4 old style glass jars with glass lids - 2 say Ball, 2 say
Crown - they actually have a bluish hue (kinda like the colour of the
pickled garlic I had one year, many ago, that made me search out this
group! But that's another story ;-)....obviously the old lids aren't
safe to use anymore. Do the GEM lids fit them? Gee, if they do,
maybe I can use those jars for more than candle holders......
