Real nice collection of vintage canning jars! But where on earth could you ever get gaskets for containers that old? I have a number of the even older bail-type, but only use them for storing dry beans & rice.
WOW!!! Those old jars are collectible, some more than others. You could probably sell those and buy a heck of a lot more jars, being those are not the best for canning with it would be a win all around. You may want to check eBay, there are a few of those old ones worth serious money if you get the right collectible rare ones.
Use the blue jars for water bath... Use the new ones for pressure canning. The old blue ones might not take the heat and pressure of a pressure canner. Get lot's more lids (rings you can re-use). Think around 365 lids used per year - per person to store enough food to last you. How many years till the world gets straightened around if SHTF? Lot's and lot's of lids!
I would never use those jars.. they are antique.. worth to much money to can anything in!

That picture was just stock. Check out the video where I have picked up the jars. No blue ones, but a lot of great quality jars nonetheless.
