McDougall / Bros & Co / Windsor // Trade / (Lion in shield) / Mark. Aerated Water Torpedo 12 oz. Aqua. 245 mm. 1891-1893
Very Good. There are some light scratches around the blob lip. The writing side has a scratch like mark next to the W, like a probe mark. There are some scattered fleabites and fisheyes. The embossing is heavy on this side, with some minor high point wear to less than half of the lettering. The trade mark side again has scattered fleabites and fisheyes. There is a scratch type mark on the tail of the lion and to the side of this. Near the pointed base are a couple of small deeper scratches and a slightly larger fisheye. There is a shallow burst bubble near the base. There is a very light hazy patch near the shoulder. Internally this looks fine, but may have had a light oiling. This is an extremely rare bottle with most examples having light embossing. This is very heavily embossed and looks superb!!! Grade: 7.9 Estimate: $1500 - 2000
