Very Good. (7). Looks to have had an early sort of polish and the embossing, most noticeably the trade mark, has been flattened a bit. Baby oil inside. Scuffs and scratches around. Interesting that you can see the hyphen between Cook and Town on this one although it looks like the mould maker has tried to remove it. Solid example of a scarce Lamont. Estimate: $400-800
