LaFayette Qt fruit jar - 4/29/2010 6:59:44 PM    antqdave   Posts: 36 Joined: 7/29/2009 Status: offline Does anyone know where I can find, buy, the lid. The jar is aqua color. I would like to sell it and would think it would bring a better price with the lid. Thanks to anyone with any help. Post #: 1

I have been collecting jars for many years, but aside from pictures, I have never seen a LaFayette lid up close. How does it function/seal the jar. Sorry antqdave, I didn't mean to hijack your thread. Good luck with finding a lid. (in reply to slimspickens) Post #: 3

The redbook listed only one known example with the embossing "GUPTILL'S PATENT SEPT. 2, 1884", now there are two. Best regards.

He has Lafayette jars but he bought it for the scarcity of the embossing. He kind of has a collection of lids going on also besides jars. Best regards.
