" Awsome fancy relic find" smile, backflip, smile, backflip

Hi all, went to the small dump today.Lots of broken shards and glass and the hole was only about 4 foot by 4 foot and bottomed out at 3 feet and half feet.Lots of relics destroyed when the pit was burnt but in the end it did pay off.I found this small embossed pottery toothpaste jar lid.The best thing about these sort of finds all the details are written on them. .The only thing which is not is date.I would say ,the lid was made in 1890's.I use to be able to do backflips but got stiff old body. lol Items of this nature getting hard to find.

worth quite a bit . I don,t know about this one and don,t
really care."keeper for sure"

Absolutely awesome find Tin, I love that lid! Maybe someday you will find a bottom that matches it. The graphics are great, long live the Queen! If she didnt live long at least she had nice pearly whites & cherry breath!

Here is some info on the lid


Cherry Tooth Paste - Miniature w/ Free Sample - [Dale T532]
1.25 (w) x 0.5 (h) inches
c.1880 (Dale)
presence of "extra moist" indicates post 1884
absence of Ltd. indicates pre 1898

Well lets narrow it down abit more. The QV Jubilee head was 1887 & after that is was the old vailed head. So must be 1885 - 1886. (unless they continued using the young head for branding??)
