Edwards & Murphy / Ginger Beer / The Premier Aerated Works / Brolga Brand / Trade (Brolga) Mark / Registered / Rockhampton. Impressed stamp: Mauri Bros & Thomson / Sydney. Ginger Beer Crown Seal Champagne shape. Tan top. Black Print. 10 oz. 210 mm. 1920s
Fair. The whole top section of the crown looks to have been rebuilt. The back of the bottle has a very fine hairline (although just catches the nail around the mid-neck area) down almost the entire length of the bottle. A few scuffs and scratches to the surface. Some felt has been glued on to the base but the base itself is fine as we have peeled it back to check, just a couple of small flakes near the edge. Black stamp is a bit weak, but clearly readable. Tiny glaze nick to left neck. Good looking shelf example of this scarce bottle. Grade: 5.05 Estimate: $70 - 100
