(Victoria). Pot Lid. Ointment. All white with black print. Round. No base. 65 mm diameter. 1900s
Repaired. (6). Looks to have only been a small repair. Most of Victoria and first part of Australia has been touched up, so a chip in this region has been filled and painted. Little flake to outer lower flange edge. Some other little marks. Discoloured crazing underneath. Inner flange has D. Robinson marked on it - he was a great repairer of lids in the early days. The lid has been coated to blend the small repair in, but not painted and so you can see that the vast majority is original except for the mentioned chip and maybe a nick or two to the outer rim. The entire flange is original and the entire face except for the chip has original print too. A decent example of a rare lid. No base. Estimate: $100-150
