Jonah Dolphin / Daylesford / M. G. B. Co. Base: (Dolphin). (Victoria).. Aerated Water. Lamont. Applied top. Aqua. 6 oz. 171 mm. 1890s
Very Good. (7.6). Looks perfect. Below the first D of Daylesford is a small mark of about 6 x 3 mm, looks like this was a small body chip that has been filled with resin which has yellowed slightly. Below this is a 3 x 2 mm impact type mark that has a spot of resin on it too by the look of it. Minor nibbled surface impact to left base edge. Tiny nick or two to body. Some surface bubbles. Some spots of grime which will clean off. Great embossing, just a minor scuff or two. Some minor making surface annealing marks to inner lip. Beautiful shiny example with lovely whittle, the pair of marks are small and do not detract much at all. Very rare too, this is the first small example that we have sold. Estimate: $300-400
