N/A. (N/A). 1. Obviously the bottles are broken, but this is about the seals. They all show some rust. Some dints and knocks. A bit of wear and tear First one is harder tor read, other two are much easier to make out. Great range of items. 2. VG. Paint flakes to be found. Some scratches and discolouration. 3. EXC. Not sure what council this is from, the S is likely Shire, not sure what the G. L. is? I am confident this is Victorian, having been sourced from a deceased estate of a metal detectorist who never ventured interstate. A few scratches and minor marks. Nice item. 4. N/A. This company started in 1854 and lasted at least 100 years in Bourke Street! These probably date to the early 20th century. Discoloured with some minor bends and rust. Interesting pair of little badges. 5. EXC. Just a little discolouration and some minor marks. 6. EXC. This company made safes, so this would be a safe badge. Has a copper look to it. Just has some minor discolouration. 7. EXC. A bit of discolouration. Some fine scratches and a few very minor bends. 8. EXC. Some bends and folds in the thin badge, a little wear and discolouration as well. Has thicker copper mounted on the back, but when I look into this company, they made hot water systems and so this is likely the badge off of one of those, with part of the hot water system as the copper backing. 9. VG. One side of the box lid has split up the two corners. I have not counted the slate pencils, which are white, but this looks full so should be close to the 144 capacity. This copmany was in Preston, Victoria. 10. N/A. From largest to smallest we have one marked 1 LB, then Imperial Standard 8 oz, Imperial 4 oz, Imperial 2 oz and just 1 oz. 1 Lb looks to have been painted silver, the others are black. Some dust and grime. 11. N/A. From largest to smallest we have one marked Imperial Standard 2 LBs, then just 1 LB, and finally Imperial 4 oz. These are all quite rusty with dust and grime as well. 12. EXC. Light scratches and minor marks. 13. Good. A bit wavy with bends in places. Discoloured and dirty. A little deterioration around the edges. 14. EXC. Some minor scratches and discolouration. 15. EXC. Scratches which show up a bit more with the polished finish. 16. VG. Element looks OK, metal clamp at bottom is rusty. Box is OK, but lid flap is nearly torn off. Plenty of other foxing, dints and so forth. Some wear. Some sticky tape. Interesting item. 17. VG. Basically this is a tiny envelope containing what I presume to be a razor blade, however, I am not sure about that as this flexes readily, I doubt a blade would flex that easily? Discoloured with some wear and stains. Estimate: $100-200
