Port Phillip Steamship & / Hotel Company. Limited. No makers mark. (Victoria). Miscellaneous. Shipping. All white egg cup with black print. 60 mm. 1882-1888
Fair. (5). This company was formed in 1882 and liquidated in 1888, so a short lived venture, making this a rare piece in my mind! Obviously though, not a mint piece. 20 x about a 12 mm chunk out of the front pedestal base. 7 discoloured hairlines down from the rim around the cup, these vary from 6 to about 25 mm, longer internally so hard to measure, externally the longest is 19 mm. Some rust. Dust and grime. Where will you find another, this is the first I have seen! Estimate: $10-20
