Charles Cole / Trade (Heron & Fish) Mark / Registered / Geelong // Aerated / Waters / (on both shoulders) Trade Mark / Rd. Around base: Reliance Patent / Dan Rylands Ld 4 Sole Makers Barnsley. Dot to centre of base. (Victoria) (late Ern Taylor Collection). Aerated Water. Codd. Acme-Reliance Patent. Applied top. Aqua. 10 oz. 235 mm. 1890s
Very Good. (7.3). Interesting minor variation. This one has the Acme Patent dimples in the front and back of the marble chamber but it does not have the word Acme embossing on the lower back like the last one of these we sold. Bottle is dull. Baby oil inside. Scuffs and scratches all over. 8 x 4 mm shallow burst bubble at the back base edge. Chip off the bottom of the applied top at the back of about 5 x 2 mm and coming off each end of this chip are super fine 5 mm fractures that appear to just be in the glass of the applied top and not the rest of the bottle underneath. All in all a pretty good example of a very hard to get marble bottle. (late Ern Taylor Collection).. Estimate: $700-1000
