The / Shamrock / Trade (Shamrock) Mark / Brewing / & Malting Co / Abbotsford / Guaranteed Six To The Gallon // This bottle is the property / of the Shamrock / Brewing & Malting Co. Base Mark: S. (Victoria) Beer Ring Seal Champagne shape. Spun finished top. Green. 26 oz. 308 mm. 1890s
Very Good. Little nibbled flake to top of the lip ring at the front lip has had some minor work done to it to minimise it, there is a very thin band of associated wear around much of the upper part of the lip ring. The upper lip edge above this has also been finely ground, possibly where the tool rubbed where working on the lip ring? This is minor, basically just a bit of dullness to the upper lip over a small part of the front lip. The lower part of the lip ring at the front has a natural dip to it, this is from making. Tiny surface nick below the A of Malting. Small, hard lump on the surface near the front base edge. A little inner dirt. Some scuffs and scratches to be found. Great embossing has little in the way of marks. Quite a decent example of this rare bottle, it has been a long time since I last saw one of these for sale. Grade: 7.3 Estimate: $2000 - 2500
