1. Fair. The lid and base are quite rusty. Plenty of grime and cobwebs. Body has some paint deterioration at the top region which is likely from the contents, which is marketed as removing all grease, paint, tar, stains, etc, and so looks like it may have worked! Some wear and discolouration. A few scratches. This is from the same company that brought us the fabulous Magpie phenyle! A great item, we haven't seen one of these before. 2. Fair. Quite a lot of surface corrosion, discolouration and wear. Plenty of dust and cobwebs too. Some fading to the colours. 3. Good. Some corrosion. A small dint or two. Scratches and discolouration with some grime. 4. Very Good. An interesting tin from Fisher's of Queen's Parade, Clifton Hill. Corrosion which is quite heavy to the bottom of the tin. The top is much better but still has surface corrosion. Remains easy to read and very interesting. We have a feeling this is quite hard to get. Grade: N/A Estimate: $70 - 100
