George Hughes // Melbourne. (Victoria) (Votava Collection). Aerated Water. Torpedo. Torpedo. Applied top. Aqua. 10 oz. 226 mm. 1860s
Good. (6.6). Polished. And I would say weirdly polished, probably done a long time ago and could use a better job. Inside is still very dull. There have been some deep scratches around the outside and the remains of these are still visible. The nice serif style embossing has been flattened slightly. The outer lip may have just been reshaped slightly but it is a nice hunky blob top anyway. There is a good bit of green colour to the bottle but it doesn't really show out currently. An early Melbourne torpedo.. Estimate: $100-150
