1. Very Good. Well it didn't stay the property of Tooheys Ltd did it! Actually as recorded in "Thirsty Work" by David Jones, Schweppes purchased Tooheys soft drink business in 1928 so these bottles are more often found with Schweppes labels. The bottle here is well used and shows wear all over. 11 x 4 mm chip to the lip. Main label is missing a large part down the right and is a bit loose but broadly pretty good. Interesting item. 2. Good. Dull with scratches all over. Deep scratch down the back. A few little impact marks around. Should clean up a lot better. Grade: N/A Estimate: $30 - 50
