« Back to Sale

Sold for A$330

(Flag) / New York / Hop / Bitters / Company. Off centre ring to base. (Australia) Spirits Bitters Semi Cabin. Indented panels. Applied top. Dark Amber. 26 oz. 244 mm. 1880s

Repaired. This has a new lip on it, an incorrect lip that has come from a Dr Soules bitters. From this down though is very good. It is dull with stain throughout. Looks like a large bubble to inner upper left is at the surface. Lots of other airbubbles, some of which are at the surface. Upper left rear has a fine line that I thought was a making streak, but on different angles this looks like a hairline, this goes over about 90 mm. At the edge of the front panel is a star fracture as well, this is about 40 mm long and right along the very corner. Really shallow and small flake to shoulder. A rare and sought after bottle, here's your chance to get one for a cheaper price, maybe get the lip redone and you will have a great shelf filler. Grade: 0 Estimate: $100 - 200
