Good. An exceptionally rare and sought after piece of early Melbourne advertising. This was made for the large Robert Harper & Co company of Melbourne. Made of plaster, it has a slot in one side that presumably would be where a knife would rest. This is marked with the plaster makers details, some of this is illegible, Melb is clear though. This has had some restoration to the top, and looks like the colours are touched up to the black base section and the tan section above it, so likely restoration in parts around there as well. The underside of the base looks all original. A wonderful piece. Grade: N/A Estimate: $1000 - 1250
