Egypta / Egypta Products Pty Ltd / Melbourne / Brewed / Ginger Beer // Egypta. No impressed stamp. Ginger Beer Cork Stoppered Champagne shape. Tan top, white body, black print. 13 oz. 195 mm. 1920s
Good. Difficult bottle to judge as the marks down the front neck and shoulder, including scratches, gouges and extra clay, are all from manufacture. There are very fine spider web type hairlines throughout the bottle but these should soak out to a large extent. There are four noticeable chips around the base, but all to the side and back. The lip has a shallow chip to the top of the back and some marks to the front including a small flake and some fine cracks but these at the front could be more of the manufacturing marks. Weird looking bottle, very crude and surprised Egypta accepted this one from the pottery! Grade: 6.2 Estimate: $20 - 40
