Need help finding Putitan jar lid and clamp

[Mikyfin]

Hello, I know this is a long shot but I have just acquired a puritan fruit jar and it came with the wrong lid. I would like to find at least the lid as I know the clamp and twist are a super long shot

I suggest that you also follow Greg Spurgeon's auctions http://www.gregspurgeon.com/auction/catalog.asp?catid=157as he always offers some rare closures. That will really be a toughie but you already know that. Jim

Thank you for the info. I did see one sold on eBay from a local digger in New Hampshire not far from me in 2007 for $22.00. In a few days I will dig out the jar and post a pic. One upside was the top that came with it I have never seen and it was held on with what I believe is a milville atmospheric clamp which I needed for a jar that was missing one.

Mike, It's a small world...I was in Dave's shop when you bought this jar. Welcome to the forum! I think the cover is a Safety Valve cover.

That's awesome! Was great to meet you!

Mike, I think this is what you are looking for?

 

[Mikyfin]

That looks like the one. Hopefully one like that will show up in the December Greg Spurgeon auction.

Forgot to ask, is that something you have?

I have a spare lid and a reproduction iron ring for the Puritan jar. Email me at "ikeda.jerry@gmail.com". Jerry
