Potlid

[BRIAN S.]

Hey all you potlid experts !
Has anyone ever seen this lid before ? It's on ebay right now and was dug in Memphis.
The owner says it's unlisted . Any info on origin , date , rarity ?
Thanks , Brian

Unlisted is correct, or atleast its not in Jackson. Definately not unique. Have seen others of this variant on ebay. Believe Heginbach auctioned one in his collection. Is said be harder than the others of this series.... tough to really know for sure. The heavey crazing and chips would I think reduce interest. Classic pictorial in any event. Looks like somebodys digging in right area[]

There is also some discussion on this lid and its variants over at the Bottle Digging UK website (Grim's Forum http://www.proforumhost.com/index.php?mforum=grimdigger1)
