Summons & Co / Registered / Trade / (Kangaroo) / Mark / Sydney. Large X to base. Aerated Water Corker Applied top, dump shape corker. Cobalt. 13 oz. 162 mm. 1880s
Very Good. Couple of small flakes and minor wear to the upper front lip. Some scuffs around the sharp shoulder, there is a short deep scratch to the front shoulder, 3 x 1 mm. The front base has a shallow flake, 4 x 3 mm but shallow. There is a surface bubble to the right seam below the blob. There is some wear around the front base with a few impact marks and small flakes as well. Under the right rear base is an impact mark and a bit more wear. General light scuffs and marks elsewhere. This does have the usual annealing marks in the neck from manufacture. The crude making of this bottle is very evident, in the neck there is a coloured wiggly streak that winds around and increases in size until it swirls down through the front of the bottle at the upper part of the trade mark. This is not damage in any way. This seems a bit lighter in colour to previous examples we have had, and does not appear to be polished, in this original condition and colour, with the added crudity, this is a superb example. Grade: 7.9 Estimate: $500 - 600
