Very Good. We found reference to a Finlay's Confectionery Store in Bathurst just prior to 1920, possibly from there? The article from 23rd December 1916 in The Bathurst Times states: An application for a Sunday trading license was granted at the local police court yesterday by Mr. C. Jennings, P.M., to Florence Finlay, in respect of a confectionery shop in William Street, Bathurst. 35 x 10 mm flake to inner front top. 15 x 7 mm flake to the left of this. 16 x 7 mm flake around to the right of the inner lip. Smaller chip to inner left rear lip. The entire jar is quite filthy, needs a good clean all round. There may be some scratches, hard to tell with all the grime. The print is good, possibly a bit faded, a few little spots of wear to be found to some of the letters. A very interesting piece, not one we have seen. Grade: 7.4 Estimate: $100 - 150
