Looking for original style Lid for: W.W. LYMAN PATD FEB. 9TH 1864 Half Gallon

[NHkeith]

I recently got this from a my buddy Mike a few towns over here in NH (through ebay). If you have a lid that will fit this, I will buy it or trade something. thanks PM me please. Its fairly crude, with tons of seed bubbles through out, straw mark across the bottom. crooked neck, dark inclusions!! here is the original post on ebay:http://www.ebay.com/itm/W...l-Beauty-/121224224575

Sorry I can't help you out with the lid but thanks for showing this crude jar...

I'd like to see that too and with whatever it was held with. Patent 35,529 doesn't look quite right but RB says the 1864 is the same as the 1862. I need to dig a little further.

Original lids for the Lyman are quite scarce, and are usually sold on a jar and at a premium. I believe there's been a few sold by North American Glass - just search "Lyman" in the auction archives. If you're willing to go with a repro, you can try D. Rittenhouse - he's making a lot of repro closures & has an ad in the back of the Redbook. Good luck, nice jar - Tammy
