Very Good. (7.8). Face has some crazing and a bit of light rust stain in parts. Still dirty underneath and looks like there is still some ointment stuck on the under side of the lid. A few chips around the outer edge of the flange, largest one is 15 x 4 mm and another of around 10 x 4 mm but also another 3 or 4 small flakes and chips. As well as the dirt and grime there is some more stain around the edge and underneath. Base is clean with some crazing and has some small chips around the shoulder. Grading for lid only. Nice example of a scarce Australian lid that will clean up very well. Estimate: $750-1500
