ALICE LEWIS collectables
SUSSEX MILL LABELS
TOP LEFT version 0-1, no back stamp, grey dip, 135 GRAMS. Please note the different original grey dip, which leads me to think that this piece is untouched since it left Lilliput Lane in 1982, other than minor paint flakes, which I have touched up. You will notice, that the base thickness varies significantly to the others, although has a similar slant on the front elevation to No 4. Almost certainly due to the hand linishing which was undertaken at the time, to produce a flat base, however this one has a distinct rocking motion, when placed on a flat surface, which I have experienced on other pieces from 1982. It is therefore conceivable that the whole of the single line back stamp, was removed in this fashion, however given the grey dip colour, I think this is unlikely.
TOP LEFT CENTRE version 0-1C1, no back stamp, beige dip, 128 grams.
