Very Good. The frame looks to be a more recent addition. We have removed this from the frame, it is printed on thick paper, with the main design seemingly pressed giving it that rectangle looking border. The detail is amazing in the picture, you can see several carboys in the window of the shop. There are some stains and discolouration. A great piece, which we thought was likely an original piece of advertising, however, the Tasmanian collectors tell us that there were several of these for sale some years ago that came out at around the same time, probably in the 1970s is the general consensus. Possibly reproduced around that time? Whatever the case, a superb looking piece which you never see these days. Grade: N/A Estimate: $150 - 200
