Barrett & Co / Trade (Stick Bottle with Patent Stopper embossed) Mark / Sydney / Lumb & Co Makers // Castleford. Smooth base. (New South Wales) Aerated Water Patent Slightly tapered cylinder. Applied wide mouth top. Aqua. 10 oz. 236 mm. 1870s-1880s
Excellent. Not your average Barrett stick bottle. Some conjecture whether this one would even hold aerated waters given the wide mouth and neck. Listed in David Jones' Thirsty Work (Number 9, Page 29) although the one pictured seems to have a ring around the lower neck and this one does not. Surface just has typical light scuffs and wear and the slightest hint of haze inside. A very rare variation in superb condition. Grade: 8.5 Estimate: $200 - 250
