B. Ltd. Base Mark: (Triangle). (New South Wales). Household. Cordial. Pedestal base. Four sided with bowed out sides. Fancy neck. Tool finished top. Amethyst. 26 oz. 269 mm. 1915-1919
Excellent. (8.3). Tiny nick to inner lip is a making mark. Some fine inner haze in places, some of this will clean up a little. Scratch to inner neck, some fine scratching to lower inner neck as well. A few spots of surface rust. One of the blank panels has a patch of a few scuffed scratches to the upper part, these aren't overly deep though. Some light scratches and the odd scuff mark to be found. Great embossing has no marks. A great example of a very rare bottle in a fantastic natural sun coloured amethyst colour. We have sold BB cordials before, but this is very different in the embossing lay out to all the others. Interesting mistake bottle as well with the word BEST spelt BSET on this one. Don't miss this one! Estimate: $1500-2000
