The Philantrop / (Crown) / (Half Man with glass in hand) / Only / Imported By / Luigi Psaila / Demerara. Base embossing: (Dot).. Spirits. Gin. Applied top. Chamfered Corners. Black. 30 oz. 270 mm. 1870s
Fair. (5). Polished. Still has scratches and wear throughout giving this a bit of a dull appearance. There is a large dip, like a chunk out of the rear lip over about 20 mm and down about 5 mm at its low point. I thought this was from making originally, but now I am pretty sure it is damage, it has nibbled looking flaked edges to it which don't look to be from making. Little flake or two elsewhere to lip. 15 x 8 mm flat chip to shoulder. Deep burst bubble to upper rear panel. A few impact nicks and marks. Looks OK on the shelf, quite a hard bottle to get.. Estimate: $100-150
