My Mom still cold packed and BWB'ed everything up until about the
mid-fifties. Still used her old Mason jars with the blue glass and the
zinc tops too. Finally sold all her old jars to a collector in the
middle sixties for her. Thank goodness times have changed, we no longer
have to boil canned foods for an hour to ensure "good health."
