Couldn't resist a BIG messa FS cannisters at Good Will today. At LEAST a dozen items for around $10. Couldn't put under a microscope but figured it was worth the $$. I really like the cannisters for vac sealing dry stuff that doesn't necessarily go "bad" but will go stale... like crackers, chips, cookies.

One of the large cannisters ended up with a HOLE in it... RATS! Oh well... knew batch was "as is"... will use it as a make-shift "cloche" when I plant herbs in 3-4 weeks.

A lid for a smaller cannister was missing that little rubber button/gasket... salvages from lid to cannister with hole in it!

There was a "universal" lid (fits jars bigger than wide-mouth masons) and a square "marinator"?? Both have a dial on top that indicates things like vac/seal/open... but neither have a place for vac hose to go in??

Two of cannisters have lids with center buttons that say "press"... again, no place to vac??

Anyone familiar with these??
