Sold for A$220
The Shilling / Aerated Factory / Kimberley. No makers marks. (South Africa). Aerated Water. Patent. Single teardrop (Codd original) closure and torpedo type base. Applied top. Hybrid. Aqua. Amber marble. 5 oz. 185 mm. 1890s
Very Good. (7.1). Polished. Slight dip to outer lip edge is likely where a small flake has been polished over. Just a little light haze remaining in places. Remains of some fisheyes and impact marks. Chunky embossing, there is a nibbled flake to one of the letters and some other high point wear in places. One annealing mark to rear lower lip. Remains of a few scratches as well. A lovely bottle, this thing is really small, hence the suggestion of 5 ounce capacity. Hybrids are popular, but to get one in this small size with an amber bottle is fantastic in my mind. This is the first small one of these that we have sold, we did sell the large size in one of our earlier auctions.. Estimate: $200-300
