The Foster Brewing Co / Proprietary / (F) / Limited / Victoria / Guaranteed / Six to the Gallon // This bottle is the property / of The Foster Brewing Co. Base Mark: Fs. Beer Cork stoppered Applied top. Dark Green. 21 oz. 318 mm. 1880s
Fair. Crudely made item, has swirls throughout the glass. Plenty of dirt internally. From front left shoulder down through upper badge is a surface hairline curved with the natural swirl of the glass. 7 or 8 fractures that don't go through the glass which can be seen amongst the embossing, most are a fraction of a mm deep, one is about 1 mm into the glass. The right side and to the rear has a series of these fractures as well, the biggest is about 50 mm with a short leg coming from it, again, this is abut 1 mm into the glass and curves with the natural swirls. Some of these appear to be from the annealing process, where it has cooled too quickly, but then some seem to go across the swirls? A decent enough example in a lovely colour. Grade: 5 Estimate: $20 - 30
