I'm looking for a lid for this jar.....OR, I'm looking for someone who has a lid and needs this jar.
I don't know that this jar of mine is a Weir Patent jar, but the lid will look something like the lid of this Weir jar.
It's usually the lid that survives, so someone probably has one that would fit. Let me know.

Harry, never seen nothin' like it before. Now it's burned into my mind and my eyes are peeled. If I ever run across one, I will be shipping it off to you in haste.

Well, thank you, 'gleaner1' . . . That is a generous thought.

Harry, I save all the lids I ever find just for that sort of thing. But I have none like this in my collection....yet! I shall dig more and be in search of this elusive lid! jgas

Thanks, 'jgas'. Sooner or later I'll make a connection . . . or rather, the jar will be connected to an appropriate lid!
I think that diggers - many or most diggers - keep intact jar lids. I know that I did when I was digging. I still have a few. There must be thousands of lids of all sorts gathering dust in boxes, or tins, or buckets . . . . potentially useful, too good to throw away! What do you do with 'em?
Has anyone here ever made that lucky connection, lid with jar (or jar with lid)?

Yea Harry, I keep the ones that are embossed of course. Pickle pushers and the like. Even the more common Mason lids are good for trade here and there. Heck I sold the one pickle pusher for $25 and the guy I sold it to then sold it for $35. So we all won on that deal. jgas
I found a lid Saturday that looks almost suitable, except it's 3.25 inches across and would probably fall into your jar. It's definitely that kind of closure.

With some of his kin was annoyed
The boys in their youth
Did not know the truth
And one of his tools was destroyed

Thanks for thinking about it! I guess this jar has a wider- than-average mouth.
