Billson & Co / Melbourne impressed top. (Victoria) (Variation to one of these in previous auction - Lot 250) Aerated Water Soda Syphon Round type. Clear. 30 oz. 305 mm with metal top. 1914
Very Good. Interesting variation to a similar Billson syphon in the last auction. This one just has St Kilda (instead of East St Kilda) but adds the year 1914 to the middle badge. Outside of the usual Soda Syphon marks there is not much to report. This has nibbles and flake chips around the heavy base. A few little impacts around the body and the usual scratches and scuffs. Soda stain inside seems relatively light but also still damp in there. Nice looking syphon. Grade: 7.9 Estimate: $$40.00 - $50.00
