Property of / (Chilli) / O. T. Ltd / Melbourne. No base mark. Original cap marked: O. T. Ltd / P. G. Dixon. (Melbourne).. Beer. Crown Seal. Applied top, spun finish. Green. 26 oz. 304 mm. 1910s
Very Good. (7.6). The cap is firmly in place, so we can't check the lip, we presume the lip is fine. The cap is rusty, but of significance, more on that later! Some inner dirt and grime. Couple of little fisheyes to the base edge. Couple of fisheyes and impacts to the body. Some scratches and the odd scuff mark. A really good example, but lets get back to the cap. This is the original cap, it is hard to see, but it is actually embossed and answers the question as to which Dixon operated O. T. Ltd? Or not. O. T. Ltd (which began with J. DIxon) actually took over their rival (P. G. Dixon) around the end of World War One.. Estimate: $30-50
