(Sailing Ship) / Dampier / Aerated Waters // This bottle always remains / the property of / Dampier Aerated Water Co. / Broome, W. A. / Artifically Coloured / Preservative Added. Base Mark: P728 / (Modern AGM Monogram) / P / C31. (Western Australia). Aerated Water. Crown Seal. Machine made. Clear. Blue and white ceramic label. 26 oz. 278 mm. 1950s
Very Good. (7.5). Inner dirty stain, mostly down the front. This looks like it will mostly soak out. Horizontal surface marks around the neck are making marks. 45 mm scuffed scratch behind the right seam to lower body, short thinner scratch above this. Short slightly pitted scratch to mid right just in front of the seam line. Tiniest of heel nicks. Couple of little fine fisheyes. Some fine scratches and minor marks. The all important print is good, maybe a little wear to the right of the main badge, nothing bad. The rear print is fine and unmarked. A little surface discolouration to rear neck, this should clean off as well. A good clean will leave a nice example of a rare, highly sought after ceramic label crown seal bottle, one of the pinnacles for collectors. Needless to say, this is the first we have handled. Estimate: $1500-2000
