Weird Mason Jar Lid

[Volksman]

Found this jar with this lid on it while going through a bottle dump a couple of weeks ago.

Can anyone tell me about it? I've never seen one like this before.

Sorry for the upside down picture.



Thanks

Piggy bank top maybe. It would be pretty useless for canning.

I found something similar- if not the same- on EBAY- check it out- OLD-PRESTO-GLASS-TOP-CANNING-JAR | eBay- . Not that I'm a fan... but found it on a quick google search. Apparently, they came in a daisy-cut pattern as well, although that style looks a bit suspicious, and again, am not sure of age/authenticity. You found yours so, it must be made that way for a reason, no? Yakker

To check for bacteria/mold without having to open the jar?

Yakker. -- That's it. I just didn't get the glass insert with mine. The lid was on it when I found it. I wonder if the glass broke. I may get back out there this week. I've only scratched the surface.
