Sold for A$15
Triangle Cobalt Registered Poison made for Burroughs, Wellcome & Co. Variety with hobnails to the corners. Base Mark: 86 / Rd / 679389. (United Kingdom). Poison. Cobalt. Applied top, tooled finish. Triangle shape. Hobnails down the corners. Embossed lines down the two front sides. Flat rear panel. Cobalt. Large. 149 mm. 149 mm. 1910s
Very Good. (7). Inner stain, may clean up a little. Some spots of surface rust. Tiny lip nick. Upper left hobnail has nibbled wear, there is a fine 4 mm fracture from this. Some scuffs and scratches. A bit of haze externally. These hobnailed examples have a different registration number to the base and are much harder to get than the non hob nailed versions - I wonder if these were for the Australian market only as labelled ones I have seen are all Aussie examples? Anyway, the best part about this is the size, at 149 (6 inches), this is the biggest one we have sold. Estimate: $20-40
