Dr L, L, Smith's / Colonial / Ointment. / Bourke Street East / Melbourne. (Victoria) Pot Lid Ointment Small round pot lid. Black & White. 52 mm diameter. 1850s-1860s
Good. 10 x 9 mm chip to the face at 3 o'clock. 24 x 4 mm chip to the flange between about 2 and 3 o'clock. A couple of other little flakes around the flange. The print is nice and strong with the face chip only just hitting the last T of Ointment. Rare and early Melbourne lid, looks pretty good as it is but well worth getting repaired. Grade: 6.8 Estimate: $200 - 300
