1. Very Good. A Melbourne item, known as Bunyip Brand, it is a shame they did not emboss a Bunyip on here. Seems to have been relatively short lived in the 1890s (1893 seems to be all I can find, maybe at 309 Bourke Street, Melbourne). Interesting early remedy which was a great remedy for rheumatism, sprains and aches. Small impact flake to inner rear lip has a small bruise from it. Stained throughout. Scattered scuffs and scratches. Bruise to right base edge. This is a large size, not sure I have seen very many of these at all in this size. (7.3). 2. Very Good. Oiled internally. Stained throughout. Small pitted section below Joshua. Scuffs and scratches scattered around. A few nibbles to some of the embossing. A few other pitted marks. Joshua Bros were wine and spirit merchants in Melbourne, we recently sold a 2 gallong demijohn from this company. (7.3). Grade: N/A Estimate: $30 - 50
