Bickford’s Blistering Ointment pot lid South Australia
Western Australia doesn’t have many pot lids. However what it lacks in quantity it clearly makes up for in quality. Two of Australia’s best pictorials are the Deans Eiffel Tower corn cure and the York Owl in sepia print. The pot lids in the collection are predominantly monochrome and coloured bears grease lids (see bears grease gallery) there are also a number of advertising pot lids in the collection.
Most of these advertising pot lids were produced in the Staffordshire factories in England, although the crude blue and brown Trouchets lids may have been produced in Australia. There are also a number of ointment pots shown in the photo gallery.
