F. Longmore / (FL monogram) / Chemist / Melbourne. Base mark, W.T. & CO. / PAT JAN / 22 78 / G Medicine Chemist Applied lip, machine tooled. Millville Round shape. Clear glass. 4 oz. 123 mm. 1880s-1890s
Very Good. In the side base there is a very fine 3 mm fracture. At the back base there is a faint 3 x 3 mm bruise and 2 other small marks near here around 1 mm in diameter. There is a tiny 2 mm partial thickness fracture under the base which is difficult to detect. There is a tiny and shallow flake to the upper rear lip. Some light haze really the only other thing of note. Unusual shape for Australian chemists, not used here nearly as much as other Whitall Tatum shapes. This is quite a rare variation of Longmore chemist bottle. Grade: 7.3 Estimate: $40 - 60
