what kind of cap is that whats it called? Hey Jim, Mines a Weir Patent '92 There were later refinements: "#25. One (1) Weir pottery lid, white. This lid has patent dates of March 1, 1892 and April 6, 1901. On the top of the lid: THE WEIR PAT MARCH 1ST 92 and APRIL 16TH 1901 and NO 2 denoting the lid size. The circa of 1903 is shown because the sealing surface of the lid is groved concentrically. This was Weir's patent of June 9, 1903 to increase the effectiveness of the seal." "#26. One (1) Weir pottery lid, tan. This lid has patent dates of March 1, 1892 and April 6, 1901. On the top of the lid: THE WEIR PAT MARCH 1ST 92 and APRIL 16TH 1901. This lid does not have a number denoting size, but I believe it to be a 3 because I have a 2 and a 4 and this size is in between the two. The circa of 1903 is shown because the sealing surface of the lid is groved concentrically. This was Weir's patent of June 9, 1903 to increase the effectiveness of the seal."
