Very Good. (N/A). This exact trade mark and tin price is listed in early advertising from 1921, as per the following link: https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/165758839?searchTerm=%22A.%20M.%20S.%20Salve%22 Wear around the protruding base edge, this is a thin line. Some surface corrosion in places. Minor dint or two. Some discoloured spots here and there. Some fine scratches. A solid example of a wonderful tin, which was certainly around in 1921 judging by the advertising. We have never sold one of these before. Estimate: $100-150
