G. P. Milsom / Launceston // Trade / (Elephant in a shield) / Mark / M.G.B.Co. Smooth base. Aerated Water Codd Dobson or Four way type. Applied top. Aqua. 5 oz. 178 mm. 1890s
Excellent. What a great looking little bottle. Embossing seems weird on the writing side as G.P. Milsom is straight down the middle of the back with Launceston tucked in near the seam and a big blank area on the other side. It is thought the mould was changed as there is a rare example known with just the G P Milsom down the middle, Launceston was probably added at a later date. Just a few minor fisheyes and marks around the surface. Maybe just some light haze to be seen. Little impact mark under the base. A little beauty. Grade: 8.45 Estimate: $60 - 80
