Excellent. (8.5). Brakpan is a mining town east of Johannesburg, Beaconsfield is a suburb of Kimberley. Light scratch across Mr. Sullivan. Dark patch to heel. Thin and small chip under heel is likely a potters pull from making, as are a couple of other little heel flakes. Small flake or two to base edge. A few dark spots to body. Some light scratches and minor marks. Fabulous example, we have never sold one of these before. GB number 431 from E. Lastovica's South African Ginger Beer book Estimate: $75-100
