Bazin and Jules Hauel made a few similar that are pictured here. http://www.deantiques.com/PLG/images/USA/X.Bazin_Beef_Marrow_Philadelphia.jpg

Generally the lids turn up more than the bases.

Status: offline 		These are a little different from most US lids as they have a highly decorative matching base that really makes the piece. The bases are hard to find undamaged and as a result are more valuable.

The vast majority of US bases are plain white. Only a few have advertising on the base underside or sides, seldom as fancy. That being said, the complete deal is what most collectors seek.

Nice rare lid and have to agree with Gidday on the base making a complete set and certainly more desirable complete.

We dug 30+ of these OP little guys a few years ago. Wish I had taken pics back then. Another one of those privies that started 1960s and ended 1840s-50s. Notice the pontil sticking out the bottom on the taller one.

I also dug a pit about 4 years ago that had about 20 of these in both sizes in it along with about another 20 assorted pontiled hair dyes and a few other hair bottles.
