Clark & Sons / Trade (Ship) Mark / Williamstown. Base Mark: (KBC monogram) / 4342. Aerated Water Lamont Applied top. Aqua. 13 oz. 232 mm. 1890s
Good. Heavily polished. Still remains quite dull throughout. The polisher extensively ground the surface back to remove pits and fisheyes, but has left fine tool marks around the bottle. The outer embossed line around the writing has been ground off, the tops of the embossing are flat throughout, and the word mark has been mostly ground off. Small impact mark under base. Some scratches, pit marks and fisheyes can still be seen. Whilst it has been extensively worked on, this remains an attractive pictorial lamont, one of the better lamonts available, and so this will be a good shelf filler until a good one comes along. Grade: 6 Estimate: $75 - 100
