Ebay item 330177788364 Cooper Occupational lid-a very good fake. In case the photo is absent on this listing- I will describe it. Pewter lid with ball thumblift; design consists of "engraved" barrel with cooper (hammer/chisel) in hand standing next to barrel in period dress- surrounded by a wreath. Outside the wreath, left and right, are the capitol letters "C" and "H" respectively. Beneath the above arrangement is the date "1803". I have seen this lid twice now and has been on a faience stein both times (German Ebay). The first on the above item-decent fake and the a exceptional fake item # 260162431195. The German Ebay seller "hundernstl" insisted it was real even after I referred him to the other and preceeded to sell it. Avoid this seller-he is clearly out to deceive stein collectors.
