Info on a jar lid needed - 12/27/2011 11:54:07 AM    georgeoj Posts: 710 Joined: 6/30/2007 From: Jonesville, Michigan Status: offline I was out looking for a jar to add to my crude jar collection when I came across this lid. I have collected for many years and have not found one previously. I am guessing that it is scarce but would like to know how scarce. There is no lettering on the liner.

Been collecting and paying particular attention to lids & closures for a long time and I have never seen one. I suggest you contact Greg Spurgeon and / or Doug Leyborne about it. _____________________________ Jim Sinsley from northern Idaho. 45 year bottle collector Always buying WAW-WAW bottles and advertising, Santa Ana, California and Coeur d' Alene, Idaho bottles, bottles 2 1/2 " or less tall, Bottles with embossed OWL.

RE: Info on a jar lid needed - 3/27/2012 6:43:15 PM    jolosho   Posts: 49 Joined: 3/27/2012 From: Tulsa, OK Status: offline I was happy to see this lid. I have found some jars and several porcelain lids that I need to find a good home. One lid says what yours does only it is not raised it is stamped - I am not certain that is the right term - the letters are cut into the metal. It isn't easy to see and I don't know what I should do to, if anything, to clean it up. Any advice would be appreciated. There is one difference. The design in between the words that go up and the words that go down on mine is simply a <> diamond shape . (all the corners are connected on the diamond, and they point in the direction you read) I will try to post photos, it seems to fit on a couple of the jars, but I think this one could be a correct match. If not, again any advice would be welcome. Darnit! It looks like my photos are too big. I will have to take different pics or figure out how to change the size. I did not realize 200KB would make such a clear view. If you are still looking for a crude Boyd's Mason I would like you to look at mine. (in reply to georgeoj) Post #: 8

Here is the lid and the jar I put it on. ........It said it uploaded successfully, but I don't see photos in preview. I may have to try again. Attachment (1) (in reply to jolosho) Post #: 9

I know it isn't easy getting good photos, but I understood a white background was a good thing. If someone has anymore tips I am happy to learn. Attachment (1) (in reply to jolosho) Post #: 11

RE: Info on a jar lid needed - 3/27/2012 7:53:14 PM    jolosho   Posts: 49 Joined: 3/27/2012 From: Tulsa, OK Status: offline I want to thank all of the collectors that are active with the internet. I am spending hours researching the overwhelming number of various items my father amassed as a 'junk dealer' 40+ years ago. I'm sure my story is just like others, have to sell it all to keep mom in assisted living. But when I find a site like this one - it makes researching much easier! The photos and info have been great. Thank you! If someone would like to see the other jars, I have 2 photos with 3 each. I do not want to appear rude, perhaps I should start a new thread! Thanks again! Attachment (1) (in reply to jolosho) Post #: 14

RE: Info on a jar lid needed - 3/27/2012 9:42:44 PM    botlguy Posts: 910 Joined: 11/20/2009 Status: offline JoAnn. You are doing great with your posts. For your own benefit I suggest you start your own thread with your questions about your jars. For now this jar you have shown appears to be a better than average color and it is suggested you research some more and get good in person view for color identification as that can mean a LOT of money difference.

Go to this site... http://www.hoosierjar.com/index.html , there is a color guide in one of the links..you can tell best with the jar beside you. You can email Greg and ask him for an honest color interpretation. Sky blue half gallon or qt books at $100-300 ,half gallon or qt cornflower blue books at $500-1000.
