C. F. Johnson / Registered / Trade / (CFJ Monogram) / Mark / Sydney. Smooth base. Aerated Water Corker Dump shape. Applied blob top. Dark Olive-green. 10 oz. 162 mm. 1880s-1890s

Very Good. Heavy tumbling has left smooth surfaces. The top has had little nibbles around it that have been ground down and smoothed over. A scratch to the inner back top has been similarly treated. 5 mm surface fracture below the rear blob that is an annealing mark from manufacture. Embossing has been well protected and is very strong. There are small pit marks and surface fisheyes to be found around the body, mainly towards the base and around the embossing. Some shallow flakes have been polished over as well. Nice early Sydney blob top in an unusual round shouldered variety. Grade: 7.15 Estimate: $250 - 300
