James Atkinson's Bears Grease / (Bear in chains) / 24 Old Bond Street / London / Price 2s 6 Pot Lid Bears Grease Black print on white lid. Round. 58 mm diameter. 1860s
Excellent. Couple of tiny glaze flakes to the face, one on bears foot, another on the chain. Very hard to spot and very small. A few light scratches to the surface. Crack to flange, 10 mm, this is on both inside and outside. Shallow inner edge flake, 7 x 3 mm. One smaller nibble further around from this. A little bit of discolouration under the lid around the flange. Comes with a base that fits, but not a matching base. Base has a couple of shallow flakes and some crazing. Grading for lid only. A great example of this nice Bears Grease lid. Grade: 8 Estimate: $100 - 150
