Availability: 46 in stock
  • Bottle Type: Hair & Skin Care
  • Country/Region of Manufacture: United Kingdom
  • Condition: The lid is in pretty good shape....just two smallish old side flange blemishes...one on inner flange and one on outer flange, but does not detract very much from a good presentation. The base section is in good condition and is matched with the lid from my supply of spares. It is from the same time period and is slightly loose fitting but adequate for display purposes. Please check out all the pics and if you have any questions, please ask them prior to committing to buy. Thanks.
