Registerd (sic) / 31 May 1845 / (In Ribbon Around Bottle): Maugham's Patent Carrara Water. (South Australia) Aerated Water Maugham Applied top. Aqua. 13 oz. 277 mm. 1840s
Excellent. Weird lip mark is a crude fold from making, the top part of the middle lump of this has some nibbled marks. Some annealing marks to inner lip. Some inner dirty type fine stain looks like it will soak out. Couple of small spots of surface rust should clean off. Couple of small surface bubbles have a little dirt inside them. Just a few minor scuffs and scratches. A wonderful example of this early, iconic bottle. Grade: 8.2 Estimate: $300 - 400
