L. McGaw / (Shield) / Trade / L. McG / Mark / Maffra / Ginger Beer. No potters stamp. (Victoria). Ginger Beer. Cork Stoppered. Dump. Tan Top. Black Print. 12 oz. 173 mm. 1920s
Excellent. (8). Shallow lip chips of about 9 x 4 and 9 x 3 mm. Some glaze wear to the rest of the lip. A bit of stain to the body. Nice bottle. Taller than the other one in this auction and noticeably taller at the shoulder in particular. The Bendigo Pottery order book mentions one batch of these to specifically be 12 oz (the standard size was generally 10 oz/half pint). Possibly these taller ones are from that order but hard to imagine it held 20 % more than the short one. Still a distinct variation.. Estimate: $70-100
