I've seen them sell for $10-$20 With a good lid more. Most of the value is in the lid. I think it's RB#1267.4 $25-$35 Lid 70% - 80% value

Dollarbill:

Very nice dig. The size is enourmous, never seen one that big. Hell Ponderosa Horlick...almost need a wide angle lens. How carefully did you dig that one? No idea on value, just amazed in the glass and its nice that its dug.

Hey Bill, Glen is right about what they book for, $35 and up and what they actually sell for but I did see one with out a lid sell for $40 at a local flea market. I've never seen a large size with a lid.

It's a good find either way in my book. []
