Easton Roberts & Agnew / Trade / Picture of a Bottle filling machine / Mark / Cordial Works Camperdown Aerated Water Torpedo 12 oz. Aqua. 242mm. 1888-1891
Good. Although typically light, close inspection reveals that there is plenty of detail in the embossing, it is just very fine. The lip has a couple of very shallow chips (4mm x 3mm & 3mm x 2mm). There is also a small discoloured bruise in the back lip measuring 9mm x 3mm. The surface of the glass is a bit scuffed and scratched with some small pits and fish eye type marks to be seen. Internally there is some water stain. On the left hand side of the bottle is a bit of an indent that was clearly made during manufacture which adds a bit of character. A solid example of quite a rare Sydney torpedo. Grade: 6.3 Estimate: $400 - 500
