T. E. Crook / Townsville. Smooth base. Aerated Water Codd Niagara type. Tool finished top. Aqua. 10 oz. 224 mm. 1910s
Very Good. Bottle is lightly hazy over most of the surface. Inside also has a haze over most of it but really needs a better wash. There is a 5 x 5 mm surface bruise at the bottom of the I of Townsville. Very top inside of the lip has a couple of fine little impact type marks. A few other scattered scuffs and scratches. Embossing is strong and crisp and there is lovely whittling through the glass. Some tiny nibbles to base where it would sit on the table. A few fisheyes to be found. Very strong example of a rare North Queensland marble bottle. Grade: 7.8 Estimate: $400 - 500
