Tumbling a fruit jar lid

[pa digger]

We dug a rare Belle fruit jar and we found 2 lids but only one jar. What would be the best way to set this up on the tumbler?

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Later, PA Digger

matters what it looks like? two four-prong stopples might hold it.

You dug a Belle fruit jar!!!! What a great find. Is it one of the footed versions or unfooted version? Does it still have the band? Very cool. I agree with Matt, Two 4 prong stopples would be best.

You gonna put up pics???

Looks like it lists for $2,000 + in the Red Book

RB# 438 If it shows belle on front and PAT. DEC. 14th 1869 on reverse shoulder - aqua quart $2,000 & up

RB# 439 Same as above - but no patent date - just belle and no other embossing - aqua quart $2,500 & up

GREAT NEWS - THE CLOSURE/LID IS 50% OF THE VALUE...SO WOO HOO FOR FINDING 2 LIDS!

Think it might be worth checking back around that area and if you find a wire bail...it does show that there is one that plugs in to the jar and comes up on the lid and sits in the slight groove.

Way cool find!

Hi-without bail and band I think jar would be worth less than the Red Book estimates...send an e-mail to Greg Spurgeon and see what he thinks...hope this helps-John
