Longmore's Gold Medal Perfection / (Gladiator) / Cherry Tooth Paste. Pot Lid Tooth Paste Round lid with red outer design and green gladiator. Medium size. 78 mm diameter. 1900s
Very Good. 15 mm dark horseshoe hairline mainly to outer flange at around 11 o'clock, only about 6 mm of this is visible on the face. At 12 o'clock there is a 10 mm hairline running along the outer edge. Outer flange has a 28 by up to 11 mm flake chip, this does not go through the thickness of the flange and would be an easy repair, also, it is not at all visible from the front anyway. A 10 mm hairline goes along the bottom edge from this. Plenty of discoloured rusty type crazing throughout the lid. A decent example, a good clean will leave a very nice example of this rare, coloured Australian lid. Grade: 7.2 Estimate: $4000 - 5000
