Perth Abrtd & Bottlg Co Ltd / BCD / Trade Mark. Base Mark: OK (Within a Diamond). (Western Australia) Aerated Water Codd Niagara type (Double teardrop). Applied top. Aqua. 6 oz. 196 mm. 1890s
Very Good. 8 x 5 mm fractured bruise to inner rear lip. Flake to the right of this on inner and upper lip. Scrape to outer lip with a little nibbled flake amongst it. Small scuff to front shoulder. Larger scuff down left across some rust, maybe where someone has tried to scratch the rust off. Scuff to rear base near edge. Short, deep scratch to rear upper body. A few fine fisheyes and one or two impact nicks to base region, a few more fisheyes to body, not very many though and quite small. Some fine scuffs and scratches scattered around. Great, heavy trade mark has a couple of nicks. Interesting mistake bottle with a B in Abrtd, this should have been Aertd (short for aerated). Looks like a zipper around the bottle, a making mark with a line curving and swirling around the bottle on the surface that pretty much looks like a dotted line, and feels like one too. A great looking bottle which is quite shiny, much harder to get than the standard BCD codds, interesting with an OK base mark? Grade: 7.5 Estimate: $100 - 150
