S. Mansfield / Trade (Emu or Cassowary) Mark / Maryborough. Impressed stamp: Murray & Co / 2 / Glasgow. (Queensland) Ginger Beer Cork Stoppered Dump. Light Blue Top. Black Print. 10 oz. 203 mm. 1890s
Very Good. There was an extensive overpainted area at the front lower edge. We've peeled a lot of this back to reveal plenty of good bottle underneath. It appears there is a shallow chip here of up to about 25 x 15 mm. The rest of the bottle is absolutely superb with minor marks. Would definitely be worth getting rid of the last of the yellowing repair at the base and having it redone. One of the great bottles of Australian collecting. Grade: 7 Estimate: $1000 - 1500
