Very Good. (7.3). A little rust around lip, but no damage at all. Right outer lip has a scuffed mark that is a little discoloured. Front right just below the shoulder is a scuffed mark, a couple of dark scratches amongst this. To left of badge is a scuffed scratch to the glaze surface. A little surface rust to mid right. Couple of discoloured scratches to mid rear. Discoloured hairline from rear shoulder to lower body over around 80 mm, this does not catch the nail. This should soak out to be much less noticeable. Discoloured under the base. Some glaze scratches here and there. A really nice example, looks fantastic on the shelf and this is very rare with H. J. Wood as the proprietor! We have never sold one of these.. Estimate: $1500-2000. Reserve: $1200.
