Here are some amazing potlids I took photos of from a veteran digger's collection.
Just wanted to share with you all.

Enjoy,
Doug

Yes wouldn`t mind that first Jules Hauel one either. If it comes up for sale please PM. There is one with a similar boarder advertising with the "letter from the diggings" pratt transfer.

Hey Guys....Trog and Gidday:

I'll check with him by email to see if he's wants to sell any of them and let you know if he does.......I know his wife is really attached to some of them, but I'll ask.

I'll send you a PM after he responds back to me.

Thanks,
Doug

B.B. Thayer produced a handful of different stenciled porcelain pots for cosmetic preparations. Most of them are quite uncommon, and from what I understand rarer than most of the Wakelee lids. Hey Doug what's up with the Oakland site? The trade cards?

Hi LordBud, I think Thayers material is great too. These are a few I have found. Believe the lid above comes in two sizes. I need a small if anybody has a spare.

I have the two smaller size Thayer pots in the back row to the left. The other two examples with the larger stenciling with the street address are amazing. Real beauties. What does the stenciling on the pot say in the back row on the right side?
