G. H. Billson / (Shield) Trade (Crossed Axes) Mark / G. H. B / Melbourne // M. G. B. Co. Base: B. (Victoria). Beer. Cork Stoppered. Tall corker. Applied wrap top. Dark Green. 26 oz. 302 mm. 1890s
Very Good. (7). Nibbled flaking and associated fine bruises over a total of about 18 x 4 mm to the upper and inner right lip. One small surface bruise goes down a little further than this to the inner lip. Folds in the glass from making around the inner lip as well. Dirty internally, this will soak out. Minor surface bubble or two. A few tiny impact marks to be found. Some scratches, a few are a little scuffed. A solid example of an extremely rare bottle in this colour with the wrap top on it, I don't recall ever seeing one of these for sale. Estimate: $750-1000
