George Hiscox / Guildford // Reliance Patent / 4 / Sole Makers / Dan Rylands Ld / Barnsley. No base mark. (Western Australia) Aerated Water Codd Applied top. Reliance Patent. Cobalt. 13 oz. 231 mm. 1880s
Restored. At some stage this has had a new lip put on, which is now separated again. The lip and bottle are closely matched colour wise. This could simply be glued back on and the bottle will be quite presentable. Body looks to have been lacquered at some stage, it has a film over it which is peeling in places. Heavily stained and etched throughout. A few bubble marks right near top, maybe heat issues? A few body flakes which are not big. Scratches and scuff marks. Fisheye or two. Lip has an impact nibble or two. Nice colour, sort of like a dark copper blue. Well worth the effort to clean and repair properly. Grade: 0 Estimate: $$500.00 - $750.00
