<p class="MsoNormal">Here’s Walter the Octopus in his jar. The lid has two lugs molded into its underside so that specimens could be hung using butcher’s string. Originally the lid would have had a steel bow across its top that hooked over the lip on both sides
and had a vertical screw in the middle to allow the gasket to be compressed (as seen on a smaller jar here). The bow is lost, but I just used silicone caulk when I put Walter in this jar in 2001 and it has held fluid perfectly for 21 years so far.<o:p></o:p></p>
