This 1860’s dug H.P. Wakelee Druggist “Burdells Tooth Powder” Pot Lid was made famous during the gold rush era in San Francisco, California. The lid measures 3-1/8″ OD. H.P. Wakelee was a very active druggist in early San Francisco history. Besides the six other pot lids that carry his name, there were some exciting and colorful bottles produced as well. The lid has some crazing on the side edge and two hairlines on the inner flange edge as shown in picture three at 11:00 and at 1:00. PLEASE NOTE: On 3/14/2023 I unpacked the lid from our move from CA to MT, only to discover that the lid had come in contact with another item in the box which caused a 1/4″ size chip to the outer edge. Please view picture four, that shows the chip. This lid has the orange background and I’ve also seen green. I wonder if that had anything to do with flavors??? There is no base with this lid. A rare San Francisco pot lid from the California gold rush, dug in San Francisco, CA. USPS shipping.
