I was planning on buying a couple of dozen this year to try but didn't get a garden in. They are about 88˘ as opposed to 22˘ to 24˘ for a regular metal lid. If you get 4 years out of one you are even 5 years and you are ahead. I know the rubber rings that go with the old bail top jars are reuseable, I just don't remember how many times. And yes I've canned in bail top jars when I was a teen.
I just saw that there is a sample of 4 lids for $2.50. I may try that.
