Furness / The . Great . Western / Soda . Water . Factory // George Street / Bathurst. (New South Wales) Aerated Water Torpedo Applied top. Aqua. 13 oz. 234 mm. 1860s
Very Good. This bottle dates to the mid 1860s (I believe Furness sold his factory around 1867) so a nice early one. Very rare too! This has some inner stain and a bit of dirt as well. Externally it is heavily stained although there are shiny patches to be found, mainly around the embossing. Embossing itself is pretty strong, it does have some high point wear. The base region has some nibbled impact marks. Some fisheyes and impact scattered around the body. Couple of tiny impact nibbles to the lip. Some scratches to be found. Great as found condition with no damage. Grade: 7.2 Estimate: $750 - 1000
