Very Good. (7). A couple of filled chips at the front top of about 25 x 20 and 18 x 15 mm. Some scuffs and wear around but otherwise in great shape. Maybe a very small chip or two at the base but could easily just be from making. There are some definite making indents and the like around. Nice item in an impressive size. John Drew had been involved in Lee & Co's brewery business for only a few months when he committed suicide in April 1891. Estimate: $250-500
