Very Good. Some scuffs and scratches to the face. A small surface rust spot as well. At 3 o'clock on the rim is an underside flake, 7 x 3 mm. At 6 o'clock the lower outer flange has a flake, 7 x 4 mm, with a tiny one next to it. A third at 9 o'clock is 5 x 4 mm. There is a 30 mm horseshoe crack near this on the flange. A very fine 40 mm hairline across the middle of the underside of the lid, this is not at all visible on the face. A superb and early Australian found lid, these are quite hard to get! Grade: 7.2 Estimate: $300 - 400
