I would like to post a picture of my round fruit jar ring box from Minneapolis for your records. This one is going on eBay in the next couple days so I will soon not have ownership. The box is Thistle Jar Rings by the Slocum-Bergren Co. Minneapolis, Minn.
Does anyone have any information on where I can find the various R.E Tongue & Bro Fruit jar RINGS? I have been searching everywhere and am extremely anxious to locate as many different boxes as I can. Thank you for your help and your quick response!
Hi Christina, my apologies for the slow response. To answer your question, since fruit jar rings are no longer produced in this country, your best options are to search eBay and the various antique/collectible sites. Wish I had a better solution for you, but we have to find them when and where we can. They can sometimes be found locally at antique stores and flea markets. Here are the currently known R.E. Tongue & Bros. boxes: E055 Excelsior Fruit Jar Rings for Cold Pack
E056 Excelsior Fruit Jar Rings for Cold Pack or Hot
R100 Red Seal Brand Fruit Jar Rubbers
R295 Ruby Fruit Jar Rings
R296 Ruby Suitable for Cold Pack Process
R297 Ruby Suitable for Cold Pack Process
L110 Lustre Mason Jar Rings
L111 Lustre Double Lipped Mason Jar Rings
L112 Lustre Shoulder Seal Only Mason Jar Rings
B275 Big Chief Brand Fruit Jar Rings
B276 Big Chief Brand Fruit Jar Rings
B296 Black Knight Fruit Jar Rubbers
