N/A. (N/A). 1. VG. Some tarnishing in places. Minor dint to left rim. Some scratches and minor marks. Chas. A. Champion was the licensee of the Town Hall Hotel in Swanston Street, Melbourne from at least 1903 to 1921, but may have been either side of there as well. 2. NM. Tiny nick to handle. Couple of tiny base edge nicks. A few minor scratches and marks. Lovely example. 3. VG. Interesting advertising mug, not sure if it is the same company, but Marshall Shoes appears in many states across many decades in Trove searches. They were in Preston and Clifton Hill around the era of this mug and with this being made for Loftus, Moran in Melbourne, it is likely advertising these premises. One little flake to outer front left rim. Some minor spots of discoloured wear. Some fine scratches and dullness. Estimate: $50-100
