Sold for A$520
A. Simpson & Son / Trade Mark / (Eagle-Hawk) / Eaglehawk / British Syphon Co London / Rd. No. 762. Base Mark: Rd. No. 565191. Spout is from A. Simpson & Son. (Victoria) (James A. Lerk Collection) Aerated Water Soda Syphon Pyramid shape. Turquoise. 30 oz. 316 mm with spout. 1920s
Very Good. This still has water inside. I have not removed the spout for this reason, but presume the lip is fine. The spout has corrosion. Some fine haze internally. Small impact to front upper body. A bit of grime. Some minor scuffs and scratches. A few fine fisheyes. Somewhat better condition than normal for a syphon. This is the first turquoise one we have sold, they are normally apricot. A nice piece from the James A. Lerk collection. Grade: 7.9 Estimate: $300 - 400
