The / Great Pile Remedy. / To be had from the Proprietor. / 110 Pitt St., Sydney, N.S.W. / Lombardia / (Registered) / Directions: / Thoroughly cleanse the parts / before applying the / ointment / 2/6 (A product of Elliott Bros., Sydney). (New South Wales). Pot lid. Ointment. Round, basically flat lid. Black & Red on off white. (Lid No. 132. "Collecting Australian Pot lids" by Robert Keil). 60 mm diameter. 1880s
Very Good. (7.5). Heavily stained which would be from the contents back in the day. Wear to the outer rim on the right side of the lid is just through the glaze. Otherwise only minor scratches, if you could clean the stain off this would be a very nice example of a rare lid from Sydney. This is only the second one we have sold, but the previous example was repaired. This comes with a base which has stained crazing. Great item.. Estimate: $300-400
