Inside the lid is embossed PAT. Jan 29, 84. If you a good idea what the item is, you can look it up on the best patent search site I have found. The Library of Congress site is too user unfriendly. Type in the patent date, the object (in this case, try pot, or pot lid or coffee pot) and it will give you the items that were patented that date, particular to the search you requested. Shouldn't have been too many coffee pots patented on that date. :>) Google Patents Here is your coffee pot. COFFEE-POT - Google Patents As you can see, you now have the inventors name, where he lived, etc.. Pretty neat, huh? Bill
