Stevenson & Collins / S&C / Boulder // The Niagara Bottle / Barnett & Foster / Makers / London. N. Smooth base. Aerated Water Codd Niagara type. Applied top. Sandblasted. Aqua. 6 oz. 198 mm. 1890s
Good. Really unusual little sandblasted marble bottle from the Western Australian goldfields. The whole lip is nibbly and/or has fisheyes and impacts around it. The body of the bottle is scruffy with some deeper scratches and marks. Front shoulder has a couple of deep scuffs and the base edge has an impact mark or two. Still a solid bottle that should clean up better with some care. Nice strong sandblasted print, scarce little bottle. Grade: 6.7 Estimate: $70 - 100
