Very Good. Very rare coloured soda syphon. William King print is the original and as is often the case with syphons this one has later been used by Barrett Bros at Orange and they have stencilled their own mark in to the other side. Has seen a bit of use and so there are scratches and wear all over. Several small chips and nibbles around the base. Generally nice solid condition for a syphon and as mentioned a very rare one. Grade: 7 Estimate: $1200 - 1500
