Answer: Two Mistakes in the Community Cannery

The Answer

The correct answer is: the white snap-on plastic freshness lid and the adhesive tamper tab on the peach-jar label.

Here is why

  1. The peach jar at the lower right uses a flexible white snap-on plastic lid instead of a metal canning lid.
  2. A small modern adhesive tamper tab crosses the top of the Spiced Peaches paper label.

The clues sit on a genuine-looking jar and use pale neutral colors, so the busy rows of period-correct metal lids pull attention away from them.
