Ginger Ale Extract / R. O'Donnell & Co / Melbourne. No potters stamp. Demijohn Ginger Ale Handled stoneware demijohn. Tan top. Impressed. Half Gallon. 245 mm. 1890s
Very Good. A little scruffy looking but needs a good clean up of some paint and scratch marks around the place and some discolouration. Front lip is nibbled around an area about 40 mm long and about 4 mm across. Inner lip has similar but not quite as pronounced flakes and wear. Unusual demijohn from an aerated water maker (O'Donnell & Co also had a Lamont and were taken over by C. R. Goulding). Grade: 7.3 Estimate: $150 - 200
