Siddall & Co / Trade (Swallow) Mark / Echuca // M.G.B.Co. Sand blasted: W. Bruce & Son / Bendigo. No base mark. (Victoria) Aerated Water Lamont Applied top. Aqua. 13 oz. 219 mm. 1890s
Good. Polished. Scratches to inner lip. Looks like a couple of flakes have been polished out of the outer lip. The lip also looks a little shorter than it should, so has likely been ground down a bit, although a good job as it is not obvious apart from looking a little shorter. This has been polished as we stated, most interestingly, we have just noticed that this was also sandblasted down the left just behind the seam line. On the right angle, you can make out W. Bruce & Son / Bendigo! Some pitted marks remaining, scratches and several fisheyes as well. Deep inner scratch to rear. Good embossing, remains of nibbles and wear to the high points. Rare bottle, likely unique with the sandblasted Bruce details as well. Grade: 6.2 Estimate: $$250.00 - $350.00
