[In from Travis Dunn from Down Under] Bidding will go live on ABCR Auction 8 on April 18th at 8 pm, with the auction closing on April 28th at 8 pm. Yes, a 10 day auction this time. There really is a bit of everything in, from ancient canaanite and roman containers through to mid 20th century milk bottles and advertising! Currently being listed are some Australian, English and American pot lids, a fabulous whisky jug collection and of course a varied range of Codds, Ginger Beers, Medicines, Cures and all sorts of collectable goodies.
[PRG] As a designer with a special interest in typography, color and imagery, I find these Pot Lids extraordinarily beautiful. I wish I could see more of these in the states.
