I have a question concerning a zinc lid that I have had for many years. I found it in a box lot of lids that I had purchased at an auction. The first photo shows the normal type of lid with the lettering stamped/debossed into the surface of the lid. The second photo is of the lid in question. This is the only zinc lid I've ever come across that has really pronounced "raised" lettering on the lid. Has anyone else come across or have a zinc lid like this. I've looked through alot of zinc lids over the years, but this is the only one of this type that I've ever seen.

Seen several. Had a box of 12 and another box with 4 left. Gave them to a bud who just had to have them. Could have made a killing off him but I like the turd.[:)] See them now and then but cant say they are really common. I still have one in the piles of boxes around here. They are kind of neat.
