W. Hynes / (Star) / Trade Mark / Celebrated / Ginger Beer / Brewed / Perth W. A. Impressed stamp: The Bendigo Pottery / Epsom / Bendigo / Coy Ltd. Ginger Beer Cork Stoppered Champagne shape. Tan top. Black Print. 10 oz. 224 mm. 1890s
Excellent. The front shoulder down to the print has some rusty type marks but it would appear that these are some iron spots that were in the glaze or clay when the bottle was fired. A couple of these have formed tiny little blowouts as well. There is a little bit of rust stain at the heel around a rough spot that may be a flake of some sort. Lip is remarkably good, there are a few tiny flakes to the underside of the lower lip. While printed with Perth these bottles were apparently made to be used by Hynes on the Cue goldfields in Western Australia. The best example of this bottle we have seen. Grade: 8.5 Estimate: $120 - 180
