I love the blue vintage canning jars with the metal lids. Does anyone know if these contain lead in the glass? I am wondering how safe they are for food.

Dena Beans... Thank you for this information. I just want to use them to store rice, tea and nuts. I am wondering if they are safe from lead leaching into these sorts of dried foods.

By no means am I an expert in canning, but I have been doing a bunch of canning research and everything I have read says NOT to use vintage jars.

Thanks. Yes, the lids are made from zinc. I have been looking online to see if there are any comments about the glass having lead in it, but I haven't found anything. Thanks again for the info!

And I am sure there is no lead in the glass....unless they are earlier than the turn of the century...but again check the web on this.....M'

I think its actually Zinc that is in those lids....I have a few also & that is what it looks like to me, plus I remember reading somewhere they had zinc in them...but to be sure do a search on the web about them....Michele'
