Very Good. On close inspection there is a series of four very fine slightly discoloured glaze hairlines coming from the first L of Collins. These are approximately 20, 17, 9 and 28 mm. Some rust to the upper right quadrant. Some crazing. A little rust and other stain on the flange and underside of the lid. Tiny glaze flake to underside of flange. Quite a rare lid, this is harder to get than the pictorial "Laughing Parson" from the same company. No base with this one. Grade: 7.5 Estimate: $$500.00 - $750.00
