1. All are varying degrees of poor condition. Water damaged with some mouldy spots in places as well. Water stain. Some tears and folds. From the same company that had the large rolled lip lolly jars, these labels would have been attached to 4 1/2 pound tins. 2. Poor. These were found buried in an old rubbish tip many years ago. There was a very large pile of them, the outer ones were totally destroyed, but a few of these inner ones were salvageable. Colours are faded, there is water damage, some tears and stains. Considering their history, they are actually in remarkable condition! There are about 62 in this pile. Many are stuck together, but there are several on top of the pile that are separated. I have seen these sell for $10 each - in this condition! Grade: N/A Estimate: $40 - 60
