(Flag) / New York / Hop / Bitters / Company. Base mark: (Offset circle). (Australia) Spirits Bitters Semi Cabin. Inented panels. Applied top. Aqua. 24 oz. 245 mm. 1880s
Poor. 20 mm section of the front upper lip is ORIGINAL! The remainder of the lip has repaired chunks that go down about 15 mm to front right before coming back up and then dipping down about 18 mm at the rear. Whatever has been used is an odd colour now, so you can see it clearly in the pictures. Left rear corner mid way down has an impact with a bruised fracture running along the edge over about 32 x 7 mm. Some inner haze in places. Just a few scratches and minor scuffs. The indented panel, earlier version in aqua is quite rare, a better lip repair will leave a decent gap filler. Grade: 3 Estimate: $50 - 75
