Flex-Seal canner

Misc.

Mary,
I have my Mother's Flex-Seal pressure canner, circa 1940's or 50's. It also has no rubber parts and by pressing down on the center (cam) handle and the curved edges of the lid lift up and produce a seal. Is this anything like what you have? I have been using this now for years (I was also fearful of a disaster happening) without any problems. I dragged mine down to the Home Ext. office and spoke with a home economist regarding how to check the pressure (it only has weights, no gauges). If this sounds like yours I'd be happy to share what I know (luckily I have the booklet that came with it).
Karen
