Superior / Aerated // Waters / Sydney. (New South Wales) Aerated Water Torpedo Torpedo. Applied square collar top. Aqua. 10 oz. 234 mm. 1850s-1860s
Excellent. Haze inside the neck and shoulder. Some scratches and wear. Amazing and crude embossing. Superb bottle. In "Thirsty Work" by David Jones these are attributed to The "Aerated Water & Cordial Company" of Sydney which existed only in 1869-70 but the bottle looks earlier to me. From the records of the owner this was found with straight line T Field ginger beers which would also suggest 1850s sort of age. Grade: 8.2 Estimate: $500 - 750
