I told him the same thing but the 'Correct Police' hammered me, first thing out of the gate.
I just wonder....does anybody think for 5 minutes, back 50 years ago when Farmer Brown broke his 'special' jar, that he went back to the Farmall dealer to get one? HELL NO! He looked in the cellar to see if maw had a jelly jar that would fit. I doubt he threw a fit and hollered, "this hyere jar hain't got no lines down the sides like the uther'n did!" Nope, he grabbed it and screwed it on and was a happy camper again....ready to catch hayseeds and bugs with his Kerr jar...just like the 'special' Mason jar had before.
I used to collect M1 Garands. The liklihood of ever, ever, getting a complete, as issued M1 Garand is like digging the Hope diamond out of the garden. They ALL have mismatched parts because that is how they were rebuilt in the armories. So, in a sense, they are all original, even if all the parts aren't made by the same manufacturer..because that is how Uncle Sam did things...and still does. recovered rifles in the field after a battle were taken in, the broken parts removed...like stocks, which were salvaged from another rifle, reassembled and reissued. These field expedients were the same as Farmer Brown replacing his broken jar with what he found at home. It's a JAR, for cryin' out loud! I wonder if the Correct Police check to see if the original oil is in the crankcase?
