Wow. That's a dandy. I've seen my fair share of UK lids but I have never seen this one...

Hey Mike,

Great graphics and a crisp transfer. Wonderful box rediscovery! I'm finding very little on Hughes & Jones, which I'm taking as a good thing. I bet our friends across the water are gonna flip.

Hi Mike,

A very nice looking lid and has been shown and mentioned these come in 3 colours Red/Black and Green prints.They are from the late 1850,s into the 1860,s and turn up here in Australia mainly in the Goldfields areas of Victoria. Thes are not extremely rare but because of the subject matter do not come up for sale very often and are usually collection locked. I would have been interested if it had not already gone.

Yes, TROG, it was found in total early 1850s Gold Rush context.
