N/A. (N/A). 1. Excellent. Jar itself has some dust which will clean off. Still has the original cork. Some inner base grime will soak out. A few scratches and minor marks. This one is about the label, which isn't the best. It is worn, discoloured and faded. There are some tears and smallish pieces missing, The bottom part is missing some of the words, but then a small piece of label on the other side is from this area and shows some of those missing words. A very interesting label, not one I have seen before. 2. Near Mint. A little spotty corrosion to the lid, but mostly really good with nice colours. Some grime which will clean off. Minor scratch or two. Lovely jar. This firm started in Prahran in around 1900 and stayed there for many years, rapid expansion in the 1930s saw them have a couple of dozen stores throughout Melbourne.. Estimate: $40-60
