Lerk Collection) Household Foot Warmer Black print on off white pottery. 90 mm without stopper. 1900s
Excellent. Some black lip crud where the stopper seal has melted to it during a nearby fire. The handle is scorched on one side to the rear as well with a chip from this part of the wood. On the Boots side there are some scratches and a few black spots that will clean off. The face is near perfect. This is from the James A. Lerk collection, it obviously was in the vicinity of his house fire 20 years ago, but remains a top example with only a minor issue or two. This is the first we have sold with the Boots logo to the rear. Grade: 8.2 Estimate: $50 - 75
