Pipe Lids

[drgeorge]

I found these two copper pipe lids about 200yds from one another during my "walk" through a local wooded area. I'm not sure as to their age, but I would imagine that they're not recent. Both were found at about 2-3in and in my Ace 250's penny-range!
Thanks for looking and HH

Those are neat! Don't see many of those.

Very interesting finds Doc!

But I don't think these are "pipe lids" though George?! They're much to decorative, these were definitely meant to be seen and appreciated! They look more like cruet lids to me. Most likely were silver plated at one time too.

Date wise . . . late Victorian, early Edwardian period. (1890 - 1910)
See examples below.
