N/A. (N/A). 1. VG. Nibbles and flakes around a fair portion of the lip. There is a red lid with this which fits nicely, not sure it is original though? Crud to rear base edge scratches off. Inner front base has a small bruise. A few scratches and the odd scuff mark. Decent example of this large jar. 2. Fair. The Ritz Soda Fountain was in King William Street, Adelaide, Silas H. Martin being the proprietor. It was a cool drink shop, which obviously provided chocolates judging by this box. The end of the lid has broken off, one long side is nearly falling off, the remaining corner is split. Foxing to edges. Discoloured throughout. The base is more solid but still has foxinf and stains. Looks like the original wax paper is still inside. Actually a really interesting piece of Adelaide history which is around 100 years old, the shop was demolished in 1924 to allow for a new skyscraper that was being built! 3. Good. Box is empty. Label on the trade mark side is flapping, only being attached at one end. The red heart has faded. Discoloured throughout. Some tears to the edges and a hole on the directions side, though no missing parts to this bit. McLeods Soap Co. Pty. Ltd. were in Sydney.. Estimate: $30-60
