Shanks & Sons / (Pair of Chickens) / Gympie // Lamonts / (Hand holding bottle) / Patent / Trade Mark. Around Heel: John Lamont // Maker Glasgow. No base mark. Aerated Water Lamont Applied top. Aqua. 7 oz. 183 mm. 1880s
Very Good. 12 x 5 mm scuff mark to front lip, there is a finer scratch alongside this. Scuff mark to front shoulder above embossing, diagonally over 10 x 10 mm. Light 40 mm scratch to the rear of the left seam line. A few other light scuffs and scratches externally. There are some fine fisheyes to be found, mostly around the base, but a few elsewhere. A of Trade on rear has a small impact mark, as does H of John around the base. The remainder of the embossing is great with only the odd minor mark. The trade mark on this beauty is exceptionally well detailed. Internally, there appears to be some light dirty staining in the lower half, this will almost certainly soak out without any issues. A stunning example of this lamont, in this original, unpolished condition and with the fine detail to the trade mark, this is a must have for any aerated water collection! Grade: 7.9 Estimate: $400 - 500
