coming to me and I will kick myself when you tell me.

It's a glass jar with a glass lid on a metal hinge, there is a
rubber ring to seal it.

That's what I thought at first, and it doesn't help that is stuck
in my head. The Mason jars I found have the gold color screw
on lids.

I had a major china crashing incident about an hour ago, my
head's still rattled. (laugh) No, not me throwing china, a shelf
bracket giving way dropping china. Ack.

Would they be called 'wire bail' jars?

I've always called them French canning jars -- for some darned reason.

Those are the ones! I have a set of three small round ones and a tall one.
I use the tall ones to store spaghetti and the small round ones for macaroni
and dried beans. They are very handy

Thank you! That is precisely what I wanted, and I never would have
found them online, not having ever known they were called that.
Much appreciated.

Gloria has it -- Nancy's looking for the name of the closure 'system' ,
I think. Bail closure. As opposed to a two-piece lid and ring closure.
Mason jar isn't bad, though. Except for the closure part. "-)

Apparently there is some debate, is it bail or bale. One person
said it's bale, because it's made with the wire used to bale hay.
At any rate, what I want is to replace the large jar I had that someone
broke (don't think that wasn't a freakin mess!) that I used to make
sun tea. I know, sun tea will make me sick or something. Living
on the edge.

Somewhere I have heard of bail jars, but I would not have thought
of searching on that, no way. Glad I asked.

You can buy Mason jars at just about any hardware store, and almost all
large discount stores. You can also find them almost all the time at
Salvation Army and Goodwill stores. There is generally no reason at
all to try to get them on line!

I already looked in two stores today, no gots. I'll just order it
online.

Yesterday we bought a 1 gallon Ball jar with bail closing and a
spigot. Cost $19.99 at Linens 'N Things.

Try Michael's or AC Moore. I know they have cute little ones that I use for
storing nutmeg, bay leaves, and such.
