(Victoria) Household, Cordial Machine made, screw top with rusty cap. Clear. White print. 160 oz. 305 mm 1960s
Very Good (7.5). I made the mistake of removing the cap, if you do this upon receiving the item, do it outside! The cap is very rusty, when removed, rust flakes off everywhere! Needless to say, plenty of rust around the lip. Hazy internally, this would be contents residue staining. Scuffed patch to front left shoulder. Some scratches and scuff marks to be found, on closer inspection these seem to be to a coating which has been applied to this jar, some form of lacquer. Some usage wear under the base. The print has some discolouration down the left half, there is also a drip of white paint on it too. Interesting item, a bulk cordial bottle from this well known and long running aerated water manufacturer. Estimate: $20-30
