They are no good anymore you send them to me for recycling.

Try looking for the rings in old small town hardware stores. That's where I've seen them in the past. Or do a google search and buy online.

I've bought things from Lehman's before and they look like they carry gaskets.

There are really only 2 current manufacturers that still make these types of jars.If you are lucky they are Le Parfait as they are better quality.Lids here... Le Parfait French Glass Canning Jar 85-mm Gaskets (Set of 18) | Overstock.com (and many other places).

Lehmans carries a few different diameters. European Canning Jars at Lehman's

WeckJars is another source that may or may not work depending on what jars you actually have. WeckJars.com

Last for everyone else we gave the tattler reusable seals a try this year.So far so good. TATTLER Reusable Canning Jar Lids Home Page

We did not put up much with the tattler lids,but wanted to try them out.
