A. Bowman / Trade (Archer) Mark / Registered / Kerang. (Victoria) Aerated Water Torpedo Applied top. Aqua. 13 oz. 242 mm. 1890s
Excellent. This is in extremely good, shiny unpolished condition. Yes, the embossing is a little flat, this was the way it was made. Couple of little impurities in the lip. A few small fine annealing marks to lower lip. Some folds as well. Some very minor spots of stain internally. Some scratches externally, one to the right rear side has discoloured a little. Some minor scuffs to the trade mark. Trade mark is reasonably heavily embossed. A great example of quite a hard to get Victorian torpedo bottle. Grade: 8.4 Estimate: $400 - 500
