N/A. (N/A). 1. Good. 9 x 11 mm chip to left outer lip. Nibbled wear to right lip has a horseshoe hairline down from it over about 14 x 10 mm - basically a chip that has not popped out. A few scuffed scratches just through the glaze to the rear. Has a dark look to it, not sure if it was made this way? Odd crazed discoloured lines down each side. Badge is very blurry. There is a very indistinct potters mark on this which is almost certainly a Hoffman pottery mark from Brunswick. 2. Good. 15 x 15 mm shallowish chip to outer left lip. 20 x up to 14 mm shallow chipping to rear lip. Some other flakes around the outer front lip. Wear and flakes around upper lip. 16 x 14 mm chip to rear base edge. Some surface rust to the rear. Generally shiny glaze, some light scratches and some minor surface wear in places. Seems to be a bit unusual in this small badge variety and the earlier Bendigo Pottery stamp on it. Estimate: $30-60
