Pair of Lamonts: 1. Whittaker Bros: / Maryborough / & Dunolly. Smooth base. 2. Wm Whittaker & Sons / (Unofficial Australian Coat of Arms) / Dunolly. Smooth base. Aerated Water Lamont 1. Applied top. Blue-aqua. 10 oz. 231 mm. 2. Applied top. Aqua. 10 oz. 224 mm. N/A. 1890s-1900s
1. Very Good. Polished. Relatively smooth surfaces to this one although still plenty of detail including visible seam lines. Some scratches and marks to be seen but mainly to the back. There is the remains of a 10 x 3 mm bruise or mark to the front left lip but this has been smoothed over on top by the polishing and the rest is difficult to see as it blends in with the natural curved swirls in the crude top. Still has a light haze throughout the inside. Nice colour and quite a scarce country Victorian Lamont. (7.4). 2. Very Good. Polished. Smooth surfaces, seam lines and embossing have been softened but still generally pretty good. Extensive scratches around the inner neck, presumably caused by the tumbling? Small chip and ding to the back lip measuring 5 x 3 mm. Some other scattered fisheye type marks around the bottle. Light scuffs and scratches remaining externally. Decent enough example of this scarcer early version with applied top and without Lemonade embossed near the front base. (7.4). Grade: N/A Estimate: $50 - 80
