Good. (7.1). Repaired chip to the right edge at about 3 o'clock of 10 x 4 mm including part of the blue border. At this same area are some dark but fine hairlines over the flange and on the underside. Some crazing. Three little glaze wear marks to the lower left rim. Print is crude with strong and weak parts. Base is stained and has crazing/hairlines. This early variety of Henry lid is very scarce - note it has Cures at the top and New South Wales instead of Australia below Sydney. This is the first example of this variety that we have had through. Estimate: $200-400
