Status: offline I don't collect lids but if the price is $1.00 above free, I can't turn it down. The one with the man and women I posted about a year and half ago.I was real busy and never really followed up on it. The other one I got about a month or two ago. Any info would be cool , like place of origin ,value or contents. Thanx!! Attachment (1) Post #: 1

The very early issues are from the Pratt factory in Fenton Stoke on Trent. Originally they were made for meat pastes, pomades etc. Here is a pic of the early issue Attachment (1) < Message edited by crackpot -- 10/21/2006 7:27:25 PM > (in reply to welddigger) Post #: 3

Status: offline Thanx for responding, my thread was on the all forums page for so long with no response I thought maybe I got blackballed for some reason, lol................ The one you show is identical to the one I have except f0or the fancy outer ring. Is that what makes it arepro or were you just taken an educated guess?? Thanx again!

RE: very detailed potlids - 11/25/2006 4:19:19 AM    crackpot   Posts: 15 Joined: 5/18/2004 Status: offline Apologies for the delay. I dont get on here very often The pot lid comes in two sizes and this larger version has the extra border but the scene is the same size. Original versions are thinly potted and the registration is sharp with greater detail to the field and colours are vibrant. In fairness to you the pictures you have shown are not brilliant but I do feel confident I am correct in my analysis. As an example of what i am trying to describe here are two lids that are the same scene. The top example is a late issue and the bottom is an early issue. Look at the registration and colours. Second generation and later prints tend to lose this clarity much like photocopying. Attachment (1) < Message edited by crackpot -- 11/25/2006 4:23:08 AM > (in reply to welddigger) Post #: 5
