Hello twowheelfan. Nice find. Have only seen one other. Did you find the base? It should have the Wright on it as well.
Bazin and Jules Hauel made a few similar that are pictured here. http://www.deantiques.com/PLG/images/USA/X.Bazin_Beef_Marrow_Philadelphia.jpg
Generally the lids turn up more than the bases.

no, just found the lid, Looked real hard for the base! i cleaned it a little better as well. i used only soap and water, no bleach. i thought it was scarce, but how does that translate to value?
These are a little different from most US lids as they have a highly decorative matching base that really makes the piece. The bases are hard to find undamaged and as a result are more valuable.
The vast majority of US bases are plain white. Only a few have advertising on the base underside or sides, seldom as fancy. That being said, the complete deal is what most collectors seek.

Hi ,
Nice rare lid and have to agree with Gidday on the base making a complete set and certainly more desirable complete.

Wow. Really cool. Although it makes me wonder who is buying pharmaceutical quality beef marrow and for what purpose. Neat find.
