Wm Clayton & Cos Bears Grease / (Bear with mountain in background) / 72 Watling Street, London. Pot Lid Cosmetics Medium round lid. Purple & White. 70 mm diameter. 1860s
Good. A decent, as found example of a very rare bears grease pot lid. The chips are: 13 x 7 mm to the face over middle three letters of the word Grease; 11 x 4 mm to the rim at 9 o'clock just coming on to the print; 26 x 6 mm to the flange at around 10 o'clock; 24 x 5 mm to the flange at around 4 o'clock; A couple of other minor flakes to the flange. Just some light scratches and crazing. Print is very nice. Wonderful opportunity to get this super rare lid and of course well worth having professionally repaired. Grade: 6 Estimate: $600 - 800
