G. H. Bennett / Ginger / (G.H.B. in a Flag) / Beer / Richmond. Impressed stamp: The Bendigo Pottery / Epsom / Bendigo. Ginger Beer Cork Stoppered Champagne shape. Olive-green top. Black print. 10 oz. 216 mm. 1910s
Very Good. Glaze is thinner around the lip but not much in the way of actual wear and tear. Bit of discolouration to the lower body that could use a good soak and clean. The rear base has an unusual cut type mark in it from manufacture where the string or wire used to remove the bottle from the wheel has come up a bit high. In this same general area however are two curved hairline cracks measuring 35 mm and 90 mm respectively. Fortunately these are all at the back and quite fine. Nice example of a scarce Ginger Beer and will clean up even better. Grade: 7.5 Estimate: $200 - 300
