Kilner Jars - Help needed

Options
I've just managed to get 15 small Kilner jars off Freecycle to use for Christmas hamper fillers

Some of the metal parts look a bit shabby/rusty etc

What's the best way of cleaning them up?

The glass and orange seals are all perfect, so I don't want any tainted metal work letting the team down

    Fine wire wool will remove rust or even metal polish but I would look for new lids as these have started to rust it means the laquer has come off and they may continue to rust while the jars are sealed.
