Learning about Pot Lids - 11/6/2009 11:21:59 PM    warnerradam   Posts: 3 Joined: 11/6/2009 Status: offline I have always found pot lids curious and finally bought one a few years back. I have heard there are a number of fakes out there-is this true. Any particular lids to stay clear of? Any good source besides Ebay to but them? Post #: 1

Have a look at this excellant site on pot lids and have directed you to the repro section. http://www.deantiques.com/PLG/reproductions__copies.htm David _____________________________ AMERICAN POT LIDS WANTED (in reply to warnerradam) Post #: 2

I'd say you did okay. The book is not very accurate due to it's age, if it were made today it would contain over 50 more lids.

RE: Learning about Pot Lids - 12/2/2009 11:45:14 PM    Gidday Posts: 166 Joined: 7/3/2004 Status: offline There are a couple of diffent ones in these. I have one thats a much smaller size with a brown transfer. Have to agreee with cadburys that the more common is in that range. The transfers on Monells are quite often weak or missing and it can take a bit of looking to get one mint. (in reply to cadburys) Post #: 5

That's why closed lips are the rule out here in California. Call it the Gold Rush Syndrome amongst the diggers and collectors. All in good fun of course. I know of three caches of bottles and I'm not even in the advanced collectors' loop by any means. Mum's the word. _____________________________ Jason San Francisco Bay Area bottles and go-withs.
