Lion / Snowy / Champagne / Manufactured by / Lion Brewing & Malting Co. Ltd. / North Adelaide. / H. Lyons. (South Australia) (Late Kingsley Durdin collection). Signs. Mirror. Wooden framed advertising mirror with blue and silver writing. 370 x 450 mm. 1930s
Fair. (N/A). This has a relatively new frame. I originally thought the white tops to the letters of Lion was replicating snow capped mountains. However, this is not the case, this is where the print has flaked off. All the white you see is where the paint has flaked off, so quite a large percentage of the writing. The bottom half of the main three lines is the original colouration with blue outer edges and silver inside. The three smaller lines of writing at the bottom would have all been solid blue, and so most of this has flaked off. Some dust and grime which will clean off. A few scratches. Rare mirror, never seen one of these sold before. This is from the late Kingsley Durdin collection. Estimate: $100-200
