P. Mathews & Co / Trade (Harp) Mark / Geelong. Base: KBC Monogram / 5288. (Victoria) Aerated Water Lamont Applied top. Aqua. 13 oz. 233 mm. 1880s
Fair. Polished. Dull internally. Chips to rear base edge, there is a large under base flake from this. Impact marks and flakes to rest of base edge. Fisheyes. Remains of pitted scratches. Some flakes to the embossing, I think? A bit hard to tell in places as the embossing and subsequent flakes are that heavily polished that it is hard to make anything out! The words Trade and Mark are near on fully obliterated. Mark to lower front inner lip is a lump, but looks like there is a 15 mm curved horizontal fracture amongst this. Grade: 4.4 Estimate: $5 - 10
