Hi Everyone,
Here's a pot lid base that I dug a couple years in alexandria virginia . I did a little searching online and found this base dates somewhere between 1839-1851. I believe in 1851 Mr. Hauel moved to 170 Chestnut St where he opened a large place of business. I guess my question is, what is the "correct" lid for this base? I seem to recall a couple years ago I found some info, and narrowed it down to a couple different lids. One had a transfer of Ben Franklin, and the other a couple children on it? This is all from memory, so I could be way off here! Also interesting to note that I did a search on Google for Jules Hauel No.120 Chesnut St, and nothing came up. When the missing "T" in Chesnut is added, it comes up fine. The "T" is missing on the base.
Thanks for any help,
Richie[
