We have a farmhouse from 1900 and no indoor cats, so there are always a few mouse ‘incidents’ in the fall here, too.

I’ve always kept my baking items in Tupperware, but I keep rice and pasta and granola in the big Ball jars. I have some really old blue ones with the metal screw-tops on display in the Pantry, the oldest being from 1910!

This link is helpful for dating older canning jars:

I’m kind of a Mason Jar nut, LOL!

Thanks for the link. I have some older jars myself but never really bothered to look them up.

I’ll have to do that.
