A. Warne / Horsham. No makers marks. Aerated Water Torpedo Applied blob top. Dark aqua. 10 oz. 231 mm. 1870s
Very Good. Polished. Lovely crude applied top with manufacturing stress marks in the neck. Small 6 x 1 mm chip off the underside of the top where it meets the neck. Bottle has had a lighter tumble clean so seams, glass details and the like are still visible. There is actually still some cloudiness internally and outside there are some scratches and scuffs that have been softened but are still visible. Embossing is light but appears that it has always been this way. The A of Horsham has a small impact mark and associated short fracture. There is a short, deep scratch on the N. A couple of other deeper scratch type marks near the seam. A tiny flake off the rear body. Nice deeper colour and quite a scarce country Victorian torpedo. Grade: 7.55 Estimate: $80 - 120
