Original Description:
You are bidding on an antique, ORIGINAL "Atkinson's Bear's Grease" jar or "pot lid" as they are more commonly referred to. This lid was produced for James Atkinson from 1880 through 1914. I estimate this one to be late 1890's to 1900.Bears grease was used in the Victorian era as a men's cosmetic. Back in the day they believed that the grease from a bear would stimulate hair growth and help prevent hair loss and baldness.Very nice antique, collectible.
