Frankston / Springs Co / Trade (Dolphin) Mark / Melbourne. Base Mark: FS. (Victoria) Aerated Water Codd Applied top. Variation of Hill's type patent with three round dimples. Aqua. 10 oz. 245 mm. 1890s
Very Good. Dull. A little pit mark or two around the lip. Light scuffs and scratches to the body. At the bottom of the circle around the trade mark is an inclusion which has a shallow 8 x 6 mm bruise around it. The front base edge has a shallow looking chip over about 14 x 5 mm. There has been some glue put in this chip but the main part of the glue is a red colour. The word Mark runs down very close to the base here and the chip doesn't extend up to that anyway so doesn't appear to be too major. Should clean up really well being pretty free of deep marks. Nice bottle and very scarce and unusual in this "Cyclops" type with just one round dimple at the front. Grade: 7.3 Estimate: $400 - 600
