Porcelain Lined Midget lid

[georgeoj]

The community might be interested in seeing this lid that I recently spotted on a common midget. The Porcelain Lined lids are hard enough to find in the standard mouth size. The midget lids (almost) never show up. For those who have a copy of the Fruit Jar Annual 2012/2013 this is the type three lid. There are patent dates on the top and the liner is unmarked.

Good find George. Those lids are tough to find.

Man, lids like that are SO important. I go into antique shops and such and look at lids on all those overpriced green / blue Ball Perfect Mason's just hoping to find an unusual lid like this one to pass along to someone with a "Topless" jar.

You are lucky!

I have always had very good luck at finding good jars and bottles. It does seem to run in streaks. If the luck really gets going, I may even find a jar to put this lid on. Too bad the luck dose not seem to work anywhere else. George
