1. Very Good. Stained throughout. Minor nibbles to the lip edge. Couple of tiny base edge nibbles. A few scratches and minor marks. Apparently this dainty face cream was used by most of Australia according to adverts at the time! I wonder why I have never seen them before? 2. All are Excellent. Some grime and sticker residue. A little surface dullness in places. Probably a scent of some sort from the Crown Perfumery Company. 3. Very Good. Box is OK, but the ends have separated, the print on top is worn, it is stained and dirty. Eight small stoppered bottles seem to be applied top, spun finish jobs from the early 1900s. Labels are mostly great, one is stained and missing a part. One does not have a label. All labels are different, I am a bit worried about what was in the one simply labelled Narcisse? A salesmans sample box more than likely. Grade: N/A Estimate: $50 - 75
