17, Fleet Street City / (Prince of Wales Feathers) / Ich Dien / Carter's / Imperial / Shaving Cream. / Opposite Chancery Lane. (London, United Kingdom). Pot Lid. Cosmetics. Round pot lid with black background and white writing. 83 mm diameter. 1880s
Good. (6.3). The top, domed part of the lid in the middle has extensive wear in the form of scratches. Plenty of scratches around the rest of the face as well, but not showing as a worn patch like the middle. 20 x 5 mm flake along the bottom of the flange. From this is a hairline along the bottom of the flange, and an associated inner flange wall hairline. Another hairline goes up the flange wall and into the face, not sure how far as I lose it when it reaches the black background. Pitted scratch underneath. Some stains. Some small spots of wear. Comes with a base which has a couple of inner rim chips and some flakes. Great looking lid, unusual design and even though scratched, it is not overly obvious due to the black nature of the lid.. Estimate: $75-100
