Green & Compy / Mark (Rearing Lion) Trade / Fitzroy. Base Mark: G & Co. (Victoria). Aerated Water. Codd. Applied top. Four way pour Dobson style patent with four dimples. Aqua. 10 oz. 236 mm. 1900s
Excellent. (8). Upper left seam immediately below the applied lip is very crude, but as made. 1.5 x 1.5 mm surface impact to rear next to a dimple. Has been lightly oiled internally, at worst this had very light haze but likely just needs a good clean. Some inner base dirt which should soak out. 3 x 2 mm nibbled surface flake to left heel. A few minor fisheyes, one or two slightly larger fisheyes to rear base edge. Some light scuffs and scratches, one slightly heavier scuffed area to lower front right. Strong embossing has some minor spots of wear, but is mostly unmarked. A great example of an extremely rare bottle, the second good example that we have sold, possibly of only two good examples known? Estimate: $4000-5000
