You need Mason jars - not mayo jars, not a used food jar, genuine Mason canning jars. You also need lids and rings. You need jar tongs to pick up jars of food just out of boiling water. Finally, you need a vessel big enough to hold at least four jars at one, and cover them with boiling water. With this minimal set of equipment, you can can at least four jars at a time.
You can go to an antique dealer or call them and describe your jars. They should be able to give you the going rate.
