Description

 I have an old canning jar i found in my garage, it is a large jar that has a glass top that is held down by a metal clamp, there is a rubber seal on the bottom of this glass lid.. the lid has small bubbles in it.. The jar itself is a light aqua color, with what appears to be a shield with the words "Perfect Seal" inside. Below that are the words "wide mouth adjustable". The sides appear to be sealed via molding or machine, on the bottom of the jaw is the number 6, and that is it. Any ideas on how old this is?
