Moonee Valley Coy / Horonda / Tel 1899 / North / Fitzroy. No base mark. (Victoria) Aerated Water Cork Stoppered Applied ring seal type top. Tall Horonda shape. Lime/Aqua. 26 oz. 385 mm. 1890s
Very Good. One LARGE bottle! The bigger of two sizes, this is also the harder one to get with the ring seal type closure. Not only that, the colour is superb - almost lime in colour! Crude folds in the lip, there are a couple of small flakes to the rear lip edge, otherwise no damage at all. Thin surface bubble to rear neck. 7 x 13 mm shallow sliver flake to front coming up from the base edge, 9 x 6 mm flake under the base at this same spot. Next to this is an impact flake that has a fracture in from it, this I nearly missed as it is hard to see. This is about 14 mm across and goes in a little way, too hard to measure but is in the thick part and does not go too far. Inclusion to lower rear body on inner surface seems to have a couple of surface fractures next to it which are very short. A few little impact surface marks. Some relatively minor scuffs and scratches to be found. A bit of dirt and grime which will wash off. Grade: 7.1 Estimate: $150 - 200
