A very old item, it does have a very small interior hairline crack which I have showed in photos, a few small imperfections which look like they were made when manufactured during the firing process.
This mould is highly collectible and is one of a series of animal moulds designed and introduced in the 20th century, the company went on to be known as Shelly.
There are another two or three sizes available as the Armadillo mould, I believe this one listed is the largest size.
