Eric here are some pictures of lids I have. Your tan box on the left is a 1897 box with no Edison image. That was the only year the boxes didn’t have his image. These boxes had the tan lid.

The box on the right with the gray shaded label is often found with the gray lid.

If you want either or both let me know. I also have a bunch of NOS 1897 boxes with matching tops if your looking for one to match a cylinder title.

Rich ,
They are both tan different view.sorry about sideways view Apple devises do that for some reason ,click on picture and it will re-orient .
Thanks Eric

Eric what I meant was the box on the right has the grey edge top and bottom of the label and the grey flower pattern. That box often has the grey lid. If you want two of the lids just tell me which ones.
