Dixie Lids ice cream companies variations

[Archive]

Posted By: <b>Randy Trierweiler</b><p>Does anybody have a list of the different Dixie Lid ice cream companies from the 1952-1954 sets? I have lids from Borden's, Donlands, Schwens, Velda, Lemke, & Sealtest. What else is out there? Why are the 1952 Premiums so hard to find? <br /><br />Randy

Posted By: <b>Glen V</b><p>There must be at least a 100 or so different companies that made Dixie Lids. If you want to get into variations, there are different sizes, years, and flavors of ice cream. I wouldn't be surprised if there are 1000+ different back variations.<br /><br />Here's a couple that sold recently: <a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/1953-Canadian-Dixie-Lid-Gene-Woodling-NY-Yankees_W0QQitemZ310060889020QQihZ021QQcategoryZ50 133QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/1953-Canadian-Dixie-Lid-Gene-Woodling-NY-Yankees_W0QQitemZ310060889020QQihZ021QQcategoryZ50 133QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem</a><br /><br />Here's some that are fairly common (not sure if they are only 30's, 50's, or both):<br /><br />Hoodsie<br />Cloverleaf<br />Aristocrat<br />Bryers<br />Meadow Gold<br />Kendlers
