Lager / Bier / Victoria Brewery / (Large V around a bird escaping a cage) / East Melbourne // This Bottle is the Property / of the Victoria Brewery. Base: M. With original lightning stopper, bail and wire. (Victoria). Beer. Lightning Stopper. Champagne. Applied top. Original metal lightning stopper. Green. 26 oz. 303 mm without stopper. 1900s
Near Mint. (9). The stopper, wire and bail has some corrosion. This is seized, so we have not forced it to check the lip, presumably the lip is fine. Inner contents residue will soak out. Some fine scratches and minor scuff marks. Great embossing is unmarked. With the contents staining inside, it is highly likely that this has never been buried. This has a different base mark to the previous lightning stopper example that we sold in Auction 47.. Estimate: $300-400
