Healey Bros / Brewed / Ginger / Beer / Sydney // This bottle always remains / the property of / Healey Bros, Sydney. No base mark. (New South Wales) Ginger Beer Glass Champagne. Offset seam through lip. Amber. 24 oz. 271 mm. 1920s
Very Good. Has a very fine 9 mm fracture in the left lip. 4 x 2 mm body chip near the end of Sydney. A butterfly shaped popped out shallow chip at the back base edge over 15 x 9 mm and just touching the bottom of the word Sydney there. A similar body type chip of 9 x 7 mm at the front left base edge. A bit dirty and hazy inside. General surface scuffs and scratches. The amazing thing about this bottle is that there is nothing known about this company as far as we can ascertain. Presumably related to the Healey Bros of the Newcastle region but unrecorded as a Sydney firm. The embossing is amazing both in a fancy design and incredibly strong. This bottle has been in a long time collection for 30+ years and presents a great opportunity for a collector to add an incredible rarity to their own collection. Grade: 7.2 Estimate: $2000 - 2500
