W. M. Coleman / Parkes. Impressed stamp: Mauri Bros & Thomson Ld / Pinnacle / Sydney. (New South Wales) Ginger Beer Cork Stoppered Champagne. Blue Lip. Blue Print. 10 oz. 212 mm. 1900s
Fair. Repaired. There is a section to the front shoulder to middle of 65 x up to 35 mm that has been filled. Looking inside suggests most of this has been a body chip with only a small hole to the inside. The bottom part of this fill has just got a bit of the blue circle around the print. This fill has also started lifting making it more obvious. The whole bottle has been coated in a clear lacquer that has now yellowed. But the rest of the bottle apart from the filled section appears to be really good. This is a rare bottle from Parkes and judging from the inside I think it's a bit better than it first appears. Nonetheless it a project that needs cleaning and the repair redone. Grade: 5 Estimate: $100 - 150
