Cosmopoliet / (Man holding Bottle) / J. J. Melchers WZ / Schiedam. Smooth base. Spirits Gin Dutch Case Gin. Applied top. Black. Half size - about 18 oz. 223 mm. 1870s
Very Good. Rare bottle in this small size. Dull all over. An 11 mm deeper scratch in the back just below the shoulder. The big dip in the lip is from manufacture and actually shows where the blown part of the bottle has been cut and then the applied top laid on around the neck. Little inclusion in the front near the OS of Cosmopoliet. Embossing is sensational. Great little bottle. Grade: 7.8 Estimate: $500 - 600
