Mismatched lids – Royal Lace edition

   
Here is a listing that is labeled as a pink royal lace cookie jar. What is actually shown is a royal lace bottom with the top from a ribbed panel jar like this one:

  
These cookie jars in three patterns that I’ve seen one with a horizontal concentric circle pattern with no ribs, one is the ribbed cookie jar you see above, and one is a vertical ribbed cookie jar like the one below:

These cookie jars are sometimes called Manhattan although they were not part of the Manhattan line. There also called Manhattan go-withs. But I will address these cookie-jars specifically in another post.

Here is another pink royal lace cookie jar bottom with a mis-matched lid:

  
 
Both pieces look authentic. But based on the price this would be a terrible deal. If it were an intact royal lace pink cookie jar it might be worth what the seller is listing it for.

Note: I am not in anyway accusing any seller of fraud. These are only my opinion on the authenticity and value of their listings.
