Barker's / (48) / (Eye) / Cures in 48 / hours. / Harmless and / effectual. / (48) / Eye Salve. (Broken Hill, New South Wales). Pot Lid. Ointment. Pink lid with black print. Round. 45 mm diameter. 1900s
Very Good. (7.5). Some glaze scratches to the face. Above the er's of Barker's right where the pink meets the white on the edge is an odd mark that looks like a scratch, but this 14 mm mark may be a really fine crack, or split in the glaze. It is really hard to see. A couple of shallow chips to the underside of the flange. A few little nicks as well. Discoloured crazing, there are some spots of stain too. A beautiful looking lid. For a long time these were described as a Victorian pot lid from J. B. Barkers pharmacy but these are in fact a product of Lower's chemist shops in Broken Hill. Estimate: $100-200
