The Foster Brewing Co Ltd / Proprietary / F / Limited / Victoria / Guaranteed Six to the Gallon // This bottle is the property / of the Foster Brewing Co. Base: Large F small S. (Victoria). Beer. Cork Stoppered. Champagne. Applied top. Green. 26 oz. 321 mm. 1900s
Excellent. (8.1). A dip on the right front lip is, I think, from making with a flake at the edge of it. But it is quite smooth so could have been a larger chip that was smoothed over. Small surface bruise to mid rear. General scuffs and some haze and marks. Lots of bubbles. Top is crude with folds and annealing marks. The embossing is very crude too, this one is definitely from one of the smaller glassworks in Melbourne although not marked. Also interesting is that the mould has been altered on the word Victoria - this had probably had Lager Beer embossed across here originally and has been changed. Nice bottle.. Estimate: $70-100
