G. H. Billson / (Shield Trade (Crossed Hatchets) Mark / G. H. B / Regd) / Melbourne. Base: Large B. (Victoria). Household. Cordial. Shouldered cylinder with fancy shoulder and barley twist neck. Spun finished top. Aqua. 26 oz. 323 mm. 1900s
Very Good. (7.9). Displays better but there is an 8 x 5 mm bruise in the outer left lip. Scuffs and scratches around the shoulder. Some light haze (and a cobweb) inside. Short scratch under the L of Melbourne. Some little scuff marks to the right mid back. Brilliant embossing and generally a lovely shiny example. This is the earlier variety without & Co embossed which I also rate as much harder to get. This is the first example of this type we have had through. Estimate: $1000-2000
