<p>[QUOTE="quirkygirl, post: 280489, member: 106"]I won't even bother trying to post the photo from the book - it's not even that clear that both patterns are on the lid when looking at the book in person.

Basically it states that your butter lid is so rare because when it was being made, the top half of the mold for the lid - the outside part - was the Adams mold and the bottom half of the mold (still for the lid) - the inside part - was the Sierra mold ... creating a lid with two different patterns ... one on the outside and one on the inside.</p><p><br /></p><p>This book was from 1988 so the prices probably are no longer relevant, but you can still see the difference in the value for this piece from the others.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]89479[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]89480[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
