Very Good. A few small tears and a missing corner to the lower right. Parkin won awards at the 1884 Victorian Exhibition with products from his Bristol Chemical Works (albeit they misspelled his name Parker in the official catalogue!). The trade mark of Scotch thistle with latin motto was registered by him in 1883. I. R. Elliott a Chemist in Castlemaine advertised Dr Gregory's Sarsaparilla for a period of time in 1903 although he doesn't say he manufactures it and it may not be linked to this label anyway. Grade: N/A Estimate: $20 - 30
