Henry Wilding / (Cross with Stars) / Superior / Queenscliff / Ginger Beer. Potters Stamp: The Bendigo Pottery / Epsom / Bendigo / Coy Ltd. (Victoria) Ginger Beer Cork Stoppered Champagne shape, cork top. Tan top, white body, black print. 13 oz. 221 mm. 1890s
Repaired. A superb restoration, it looks like the top has been replaced somewhere in the upper neck region. It would be quite easy to miss this as it is a great job. The writing is actually a bit impressed as well as printed. Across the upper front, down the right and then the upper rear as well has an odd stain type mark, this is rust in places, has a white chalky appearance in places and a darker discolouration in places as well. Judging by the rust being amongst this, I doubt this is from making. Some scratches and minor marks. A really good shelf example of this rare bottle. Grade: 0 Estimate: $300 - 400
