I'm still around.  I know nothing from nothing about jar lids.

I saved the brag-label from one of my boxes of lids:  "New &
Improved/SureTight(TM) Lids/Helps Keep Canned Food Sealed/NOW up to/18
MONTHS."

If any jar Mom put up in the forties were still around, it would still
be sealed.

Recently I opened a jar of pickles I put up in August of last year,
and the sealant on the lid was all bubbly.

Fortunately, all I ever put up these days is bread-and-butter pickles,
and I keep them in the spare fridge, so they don't have to be honestly
sealed.
