Warner's / Safe / Nervine / (Safe) / Trade / Mark / Melbourne, Aus. Base Mark: 1963. (Victoria) Medicine Cure Applied top, tooled finish. Light Honey Amber. 1/2 Pint. 183 mm. 1890s
Good. UNUSUAL item! The half size blob top Nervine from Melbourne is a rare bottle, but looking at this the safe is different! The words trade mark are in a open area and are quite large, normally there are other parts of the safe in the middle and the words are curved and very small! Can't say I have seen a safe like this before? Polished. Remains of surface scratches and scuffs. Remains of a couple of deeper short scratches. A few tiny nicks. A few pit marks remain. Large dint to lower rear I initially thought was a crude making mark. However, it could well be where a chip has been crudely ground out? A bit of surface dullness down the left side. Grade: 6.7 Estimate: $150 - 200
