G.H. Billson / Trade (Crossed Axes within shield) Mark / G.H.B / Melbourne // M.G.B.Co Base Mark: B Aerated Water Codd Applied top, three way pour with three triangular indentations (Hill Patent?) codd bottle. Aqua. 7 oz. 201 mm. 1890s

Very Good. Has been polished. There are still several fleabites and fisheyes to be found, mainly around the top and shoulder region and again at the base. The surface of the glass shows evidence of pitting, scratching and wear but the polishing has made this appear OK when on display. There is a long and short scratch beside each other to the right of the badge, 15 mm and 9 mm. The lettering is strong, with some evidence of pitting and fleabites. This is a scarce bottle in this variation, this example does look good. Grade: 7.2 Estimate: $50 - 75
