Parrott's Healing Ointment / Trade (Cockatoo) Mark / Registered. Pot Lid Ointment Black Print on White pot lid. 61 mm diameter. 1880s
Excellent. The face of this fantastic lid is perfect, in fact, the entire lid is close to perfect. It has had some flange repair work done. The inner flange is all original, and so any repairs were only on small outer flange chips. This is an extremely professional repair which is nearly impossible to detect. The entire print on the face is 100% original, the owner informs us that there was only a couple of outer edge flange chips that were repaired which our observations confirm. There is a matching base with this lid, this has a couple of minor flakes and some rust staining, but is good otherwise. Parrott's Healing ointment was manufactured by James Channon of Kent Street, Sydney, who also had branches at Goulburn and Brisbane. Grade: 8.2 Estimate: $5000 - 6000
