Nice finds . The lid is neat . The sodas are nice finds as well . It was good to see a bottle post where "my best " bottles were actually nice bottles and not a 1930 ketchup bottle As far as value I can't comment on the lid. As with anything rarity and condition greatly effect value . Since sodas have much more value to a local collector auction estimates can vary greatly. The cobalt soda would benefit from a good tumble while the value of the other soda is significantly effected by the lip damage. Actually I like the ink the best . In general aqua pontiled umbrella inks are very very common but yours being 12 sided makes it rarer . The fact that is a greenish tint is nice . Great finds .
