Davies & Capel / Trade / (Knight on Horseback with Jousting stick) / Mark / Bendigo / L.G & Cie Made in France Paris. Aerated Water Soda Syphon Round with Pedestal base. Clear (very pale amethyst). 30 oz. 247 mm. 1890s
Very Good. The back lip does have a 14 x 9 mm bruise but this will be easily hidden with a metal top in place. There is some fairly extensive internal soda residue. Surface has some scratches and scuffs but not too many for an early syphon like this. Very strong and detailed etched print. Deep scuff to right side near pedestal base. This one will clean up really well. Not to be confused with the relatively common T. Davies syphons this is much rarer in the Davies & Capel version. Grade: 7.5 Estimate: $50 - 70
