Sold for A$370
A. Bruton / (A. B within a Diamond) / Zeehan. Base Mark: M. (Tasmania). Aerated Water. Codd. Applied top. All Way Pour. Aqua. 10 oz. 234 mm. 1900s
Very Good. (7.7). Little lump to mid rear from making. Small deep scuff mark to front base edge. Tiny flake to front right base heel. Some other scuffs around base edge. Tiny nick to left mid seam. Little nibbled flake to embossed diamond. A few other minor nibbled spots to the strong embossing. A few fine fisheyes and impact marks. Scratches scattered around and the odd scuff mark. Lovely shiny, whittled glass. Rare bottle, this is the first we have sold. Interestingly, there is a rare codd from Nathalia from A. E. Bruton with a diamond trade mark from the 1920s, looks like they moved over there after Zeehan. Also interestingly, another codd in this auction is for Bruton & Jenkins of Zeehan, getting back to Nathalia in Victoria, there are also bottles from a Jenkins with Nathalia embossed on them! Not sure there is any link, but seems coincidental.. Estimate: $300-400
