Antique! Rated SCARCE.."Gun 'totin, classy Victorian mama" PRATTWARE jar pot lid

$ 15.81

Availability: 54 in stock
  • Modified Item: No
  • Country/Region of Manufacture: United Kingdom
  • Color: Multi-Color
  • Volume: 3 oz.
  • Time Period Manufactured: Antique (Pre-1900)
  • Bottle Type: Hair & Skin Care
  • Condition: The lid is in good condition....just some minor "nicks" on flange edge...barely worthy of a mention! The base section or "jar" portion, is drawn from my supply of spares and is from approximately the same time period. It has a foot rim chip and some minor chips on the inner flange of the jar. The fit is not perfectly "snug" but close enough for display purposes. Please check out all of the pics and if you have any questions, please ask them prior to committing to buy. Thanks.

    Description

    On offer here is an antique (
    ca 1890
    )
    RATED AS SCARCE
    , multi-color
    PRAT
    TWARE pot lid
    and base section, which together, comprise the completed jar. I have humorously called it
    "
    Gun 'totin classy Victori
    an Mama
    "!!
    The official name of the lid image, is "
    The
    Fair Sportswoman
    " and it is
    rated as SCARCE in Mortimer's reference book
    . Mortimer
    values the lid
    at between
    -
    . I am offering it
    at considerably less....
    only .95
    ! A bargain at less than half the price of the lower end estimate!!
    The lid measures almost 4" in diameter and the complete jar with lid on top of the base section stands 1 3/4" tall.
    Nice piece to add to a collection or just to display in it's own right!  Who would have imagined that Victorian women were hunter's way back in the day?
