Trade (VB / G in an irregular octagon) Mark / Volum / Brewing / Company // This bottle is not sold / & still remains the property / of the Volum Brewing Co. Ltd. Indented base. (Geelong, Victoria) (Votava Collection). Beer. Cork Stoppered. Champagne. Spun finished top. Green. 26 oz. 309 mm. 1910s
Very Good. (7.8). Has a diagonal line from the top of the R in Brewing down to the back embossing and into the word still. This is definitely a swirl of glass and bubbles from manufacture. Also in this area is quite a distinct textured mould mark where the glass has stuck when made. Three big open bubbles on the back shoulder right at the surface. Some scuffs and wear around. Really nice strong embossing. Very nice example. Not to be confused with the usually seen crown seal types. This is a rare beer in this ring seal variety. (Votava Collection). Estimate: $700-1000
