Need help locating gasket

[Richard Marsh]

My sister in law asked me to make a lid for one of the spice jars in her collection that she recently acquired that was missing a lid. I am having trouble finding a matching gasket. The gasket is not flat (photos below). I thought I could just use an appropriately sized flat gasket, but after trying one, I have discovered why a curved gasket was used (lid just springs off). Does anyone know of a supplier of this type of gasket. I've Googled about everything I can think of.

I think doing a search useing " Jar Seal " will yield the results you are looking for.

I've tried that along with every variant of jar, canister, container, gasket, seal, flange....

Maybe Google Images could come to the rescue.

All you do is take a picture of the seal/gasket, maybe even a few pictures from different angles, with a neutral background. Maybe even on the jar, etc. Go to the link above, and upload your picture. Google matches your picture against a zillion others.

I've used this successfully a few times. The oddest was a picture of a flowering shrub that was growing at a remote site here in Alaska. My best bet for a local botanist was stumped. I tried Google Images, and came up with a Japanese variety of honeysuckle. That proved correct.

It's a long shot for a gasket, but what the heck!

I'd like to see a pic of this gasket/seal

I remember seeing something like that at our local hardware store that seems to have just about anything that you might want although they seems to be heading the way of other hardware stores and slowly getting rid of open stock items. I will go there tomorrow and hopefully remember to see if they still carry something like that. I know that they do have s lot of canning supplies. There also used to be a local Asher's kitchen store, but I noticed that they have gone out of business. I guess that hardly anybody cooks real meals any longer. If you Google "jar rings" or maybe "canning jar lids" you might get more hits. I realize that it is not a lid or ring, but it goes along with that sort of thing. Gasket is more of a guy word that doesn't always fit well with kitchen stuff. 🙄

I would think a kitchen store or something like Bed, Bath & Beyond. Another option is buy a replacement jar with same style of gasket and transfer the gasket. Would "O" rings work?
