Pair of Ginger Beers: 1. Lane Cove Brick / and / Pottery / Works. / Willoughby. 2. A. Hillcoat / Pottery, E. Maitland. (New South Wales) Ginger Beer Various Dump. Salt Glaze. 10 oz. 175 & 168 mm. 1870s-1890s
The Lane Cove is Repaired. Or more correctly rebuilt. The bottle is joined 11 cm down from the top. The stamp is an unusual one but clearly this has just been a base part of a bottle and has had a top two-thirds added to it. Good job though with the overpainting being meticulous. The Hillcoat is also repaired. Parts of the neck and top having been rebuilt. Stamp is pretty good for these but typically parts of it are weak or missing. Grade: N/A Estimate: $60 - 80
