It came fitted with Boyd’s Genuine Porcelain Liner inside the zinc cap which created a sealed glass layer between the lid and the jar making food taste less tinny and more delicious. 🫙 Storytellers in and of themselves, step by step, invention by invention, improvement by improvement, you can trace the history of food preservation in America throughout the past two centuries, jar by jar and lid by lid.
