A. Bowman / Trade (Archer) Mark / Registered / Kerang. (Victoria) Aerated Water Torpedo Applied top. Aqua. 13 oz. 242 mm. 1890s
Excellent. From the pictures we presumed this was polished, however, having handled it is in extremely good, shiny unpolished condition. Yes, the embossing is a little flat, this was the way it was made. Couple of little impurities in the lip. A few small fine annealing marks to lower lip. Some folds as well. Some very minor spots of stain internally. Some scratches externally, one to the right rear side has discoloured a little. Some minor scuffs to the trade mark. Trade mark is reasonably heavily embossed. A great example of quite a hard to get Victorian torpedo bottle. Grade: 8.4 Estimate: $750 - 1000
