Here are some amazing potlids I took photos of from a veteran digger's collection.
Just wanted to share with you all.

Enjoy,
Doug

Yes wouldn`t mind that first Jules Hauel one either. If it comes up for sale please PM. There is one with a similar boarder advertising with the "letter from the diggings" pratt transfer.

Hey Guys....Trog and Gidday:

I'll check with him by email to see if he's wants to sell any of them and let you know if he does.......I know his wife is really attached to some of them, but I'll ask.

I'll send you a PM after he responds back to me.

Thanks,
Doug

B.B. Thayer produced a handful of different stenciled porcelain pots for cosmetic preparations. Most of them are quite uncommon, and from what I understand rarer than most of the Wakelee lids. Hey Doug what's up with the Oakland site? The trade cards?

Hi LordBud, I think Thayers material is great too. These are a few I have found. Believe the lid above comes in two sizes. I need a small if anybody has a spare.

I have the two smaller size Thayer pots in the back row to the left. The other two examples with the larger stenciling with the street address are amazing. Real beauties. What does the stenciling on the pot say in the back row on the right side?

The pot is by V. Chevallier San Francisco and is the example pictured in Sonny Jackon's book ref:- BJ 212.

Are these yours? From the deantiques website. Lower right hand corner Wakelee has to be really rare. Along with most of the others...

Was BB related to the famous Cambridge Henry Thayer?

Potlids are a very impressive work of art. I don't have any but am really tempted to start. That A.M. Cole you have pictured would be a nice first one, but afraid it's out of my price range. I have about 15 A.M. Cole bottles.  Thanks for posting....Ron

Yes


Gidday,
Would you be so kind as to post some close ups of the pots/lids in the group picture? The upper left, the Wakelee's lower right and any others you'd like to share. Are those from the Embarcadero 1 - 4 construction digs? Seems those projects uncovered a large amount of vintage 1850s - 1860s SF bottles and pots/lids. I know my first BB Thayer pot (should they be called "jars"?) came from the Embarcadero.

The pots are the examples used in Mr Jacksons book. Im not sure where they would have come from. The others took the best part of 10 years to piece together. A very tuff series to find without damage and some of America's best multi coloured.
