McDougall / and / Hunter // Stawell. Small backwards 3 at base point. (Victoria) Aerated Water Torpedo Applied top. Aqua. 10 oz. 235 mm. 1880s
Very Good. Impact to upper right lip has a small nibbled mark from it, with an associated 10 x 7 mm bruise. Fine scratching to inner neck looks like it may be from a bottle brush from the cleaning process. Some inner water type stain looks like it will soak out. Fisheye near the T of Stawell. Scuffed section of wear near the AND. Around Stawell the E is scuffed, another section near this and another near the T. Scratches scattered around and the odd other scuff mark. Decent enough example of this relatively early and scarce bottle. This is considerably better condition than the two other examples that we have sold. Grade: 7.2 Estimate: $100 - 150
