Repaired. The whole flange looks to have been rebuilt. Most of the middle circle of the face is original but at the top a 30 x 17 mm section has been filled and redone including all of the word Real and the B of Bears. At the bottom right a 45 x 8 mm section has been rebuilt which includes most of the word London from the print. Elsewhere the T of Clayton has been rebuilt. Also small chips to the edge of the G of Grease. Bottom half of the I of Watling is also painted and filled. Scuffy and worn on the face. Repairs are not too bad but old. A super rare lid well worth getting a fresh repair done. Grade: 0 Estimate: $300 - 400
