Mount's / Patent / Melbourne / Glass Bottle Co. Smooth base. Aerated Water Patent Cylinder with four triangular dimples to shoulder. Heavy applied top with ring inside. Aqua. 10 oz. 211 mm. 1878-1880s
Very Good. Glass is dull all over but not too many deep marks or pitting to be seen. There is a very shallow and slightly yellowed bruise on the top of the side lip that measures 8 x 5 mm. A deeper scuffed or scratched area on the back towards the base measures 11 x 7 mm. There is also a partially exposed bubble on the lower back about 8 mm behind the seam line. The burst bit itself is only about 1.5 x 1 mm. A small open bubble to the rear just below the dimples. Some fisheyes, including one in one of the dimples, there are a few more, but not many at all. Some other more minor scuffs and scratches are visible. Solid example of a rare Australian patent. Grade: 7.1 Estimate: $300 - 400
