Crowder & Letchford / Trade (Lion within a Shield) Mark / Perth & Fremantle // Reliance Patent / 4 / Sole Makers / Dan Rylands Ld / Barnsley. No base mark. (Western Australia) Aerated Water Codd Applied top, blue lip. Reliance Patent. Aqua. 13 oz. 235 mm. 1880s
Very Good. Polished. Nibbled little upper lip flake, thin surface split coming from this down the inner lip. This still has a dull appearance, under the base is quite stained. Remains of scuffs and scratches to be found. Fisheyes scattered around. Embossing is a little rounded, but unpolished examples often are as well, judging by the seam lines still being evident, I would suggest this is pretty much as it was prior to the polish. A good example of a classic bottle with the blue lip. Grade: 7.3 Estimate: $250 - 300
