Very Good. (7.2). A fine hairline from the rim down through the edge of the Y of Holloway's and seen down the outside about 18 mm but on the inside nearly all the way to the bottom. Sticker marks at the back and on the base. Some stain. Lot of dust and grime. Very precise and fine print. As well as the exposed breasts there is a comma after 533 and an arrow at the top of the Never Despair column which doesn't seem to appear on other Oxford St examples. The maker of the print on this type was definitely having a good day at work! Estimate: $50-100
