does anyone know how old this is?

Found the bottom one week and the top the next week! Wondering about the age and maybe the value.

Hi,This lid appears to be the most common English Pot Lid found in the U S and is also very common in the U K. It would date to around 1905 as it has the Kings Crown in the trade mark which dates it post 1901 when Queen Victoria diedhttp://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-Victorian-oriental-tooth-paste-pot-lid-manchester-jewsbury-brown-/231497969370?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item35e65aaeda Hopes this helpsDavid

Hey Dave, would having "Chemists" help date it or tell whether it was an export?

Hello; Lid is pre-1891, after that, country of origin would have to be marked, in this case, ''England''. One of the most common potlids, found throughout the English- speaking world, quite common in Canada, where ANY lids are hard to find. Still nice find, though, have dug a few marked with & without " England'' in Ottawa, Canada , from c 1910 dumps. Dave

Just dug a bottom to one of these. Am hoping the top is nearby.

Good luck with your search and hope you are looking in a privy as will be much easier to find both pieces as I have found that usually if you dig in a dump the chances tend to be for maybe 2 lids complete with bases for every 50 lids or 100 bases.

Any dug lid is worth at least 25.00.
