Status: offline 		Hi all, I found a Holloway's Ointment Pot about 5 yrs ago in an old burnt down China town/Dump. It is in pretty good shape(a couple little chips on the bottom) . I have done some research on it also the front reads.... Ointment for the cure of Gout and Rheumatism, manufactured Only by the Proprietor. Trade Mark( A Boobs out Lady sitting)  address of : 533 Oxford St. London, the back has  Ointment  Inverterate Ulcers,Sore Breasts, Sore Heads, Bad Legs & c. then all the numbers.,I have it dated to approx.1868 - 1881 on the research I have done..I have a couple pictures but I don't have a very good camera so they aren't very clear.....
Anyone have a clue what something like this is worth??

In good condition they go for about 30 british pounds or about 45 bucks...ish
If there is any damage it will hurt the price though.

The USA variants are all hard to get.There are several British types. The exposed boobs are sought after actually. The pictorial classical lady and child either have the Oxford address or later Southwark addess.
The pots with the rope border have either the 144 Strand Address and the harder to get has the Oxford Late Strand address which is the transitional period 1867.
The early roccoco scrolled Holloways in my view is the prettiest and all are hard to get. The sepia print type American examples are fabulous.
The early family ointment pot is also scarce.

Sellers want a premium for the Holloway's "Boobs Out" variation and so try to say that is what their pot is.

This pot had the best art for the transfer and the cherub is holding an arrow in his hand
