The Cascade Brewery / Company Ltd / Hobart. No base mark. (Tasmania) Beer Ring Seal Applied top. Green. 26 oz. 311 mm. 1880s
Good. Looks great, but has a few issues. A few tiny making splits to inner lip. Shallow sliver under the applied ring and down a bit at the front, this is from making. Bubble near front left base has partially opened leaving a dirty, milky appearance within. Now, the right rear base edge has a series of shallow nibbled chips, further to the rear is a 10 x 20 mm relatively shallow chip, then right at the rear is a 14 x 9mm chip at the base edge. A streak across the lower rear is a making mark, it is a series of fine airbubbles. Little sliver to front base edge. Some scuffed scratches, including some to the front. Huge embossing. Some spots of grime. Little sliver to top of lip and a spot or two of rust. Looks superb from the front, the chips are simply at the rear base. Grade: 6.6 Estimate: $100 - 150
