(HMC within a mortar and pestle) / H. C Armstrong, M.P.S. / Pharmaceutical / Chemist. Base Mark: W.T. & Co / U.S.A. (Broken Hill, New South Wales) Medicine Chemist Applied top. Rectangle shape with three recessed panels. Cobalt. 8 oz. 167 mm. 1900s
Very Good. Surface haze scattered around, some shiny patches as well. Just a very slight surface swirling in places where the light haze and shiny parts intersperse. One tiny spot of surface wear to rear base corner. Tiny surface nick to lower rear. A few scratches. Nothing in the way of deep marks at all, this is in great condition all round with superb embossing as well, just the light stain. Armstrong was a bit of a nomad, this is from New South Broken Hill bottle. Previously unrecorded in blue, not only is this unique in this colour, but it is large as well! Listed as 8 ounce, being a wide chunky bottle it may actually exceed this in size! A ripper and top quality show bottle! Grade: 7.8 Estimate: $750 - 1000
