I presume this to be a jar lid, but I've never seen anything remotely like it. The bottom reminds me of a mason insert except with embossing, but that's where anything usual ends. The top has an extremely strange serpentine shape molded into it, vaguely shaped like an "S". The glass has a very weird, noticeable, almost warped texture to it. There are also some strange notches within where the s shape stops, almost at the perimeter of the lid. The bottom says (backwards, so that you can only see it correctly through the top): "1898 PATD JANY. 11TH. I looked into it, and I think this goes to a Schies Closure or something like that? Is it rare?
