Jar Lid questions - 4/14/2008 7:35:27 PM    Mike O Posts: 399 Joined: 12/26/2005 Status: offline Hi, I dug some lids the other day and thought I would take them along home with me. My question is do people buy lids? I looked them up in the red book and seems like they go to pretty good jars. Here is some information on them. I got 2 .that say Whitall's Patent, June 18th 1861. The red book says that is from #'s 2179-2188 and most of them seem like pretty good jars!  Then I got another that says Patented Nov 29th 1870 in bigger circle with Patented Feb 25 1873. shows #'s 2809 and 3022-3025 again seem like pretty good jars!

I have sold lids and enclosures for fruit jars on eBay. Some will command a decent price, also. _____________________________ Woody (in reply to Mike O) Post #: 2

Yes, jar collectors are always looking for lids.  Got anymore?   Paul (in reply to woody) Post #: 3

I don't think that there is anything great! I remember as a kid I dug a Lafayette lid, I used to have bottle sales on the side of the road and a guy came along and offered me $25.00 for it and that was back in the 70's  So I have kind of held on to them when I find one that looks a bit different!  Mike _____________________________ Some days i'm a digging fool, Some days i'm just a fool digging!
