when i first moved here to san jose there was a dump by the railroad tracks here in town, i was told that this trash was brought here by trainfrom the san francisco earthquake in 1906, all the stuff i found was in that time period most was burned, i found a lot of doll house stuff, coins common bottles and here is a pot lid i found slightly burned as well, this is the only one i have found to date but if it is from the san francisco earthquake it is a cool piece of history...

Here's a rolled lip XBazin Aromatic Vinegar bottle that I dug in a pontiled privy several years back. Looks like a good match to your pot lid.

Hi Dan,

They are a nice pot lid but relatively common. I would have thought the lid was a little older than 1906 but would think it was probably thrown out in the yard several years before the quake and just got picked up with all the demolished material.
This is a different version
