Tinker / (Only). Embossed line across base. (Attributed as a Bathurst bottle) Aerated Water Corker Applied Blob top, dump shape. Cobalt Blue. 10 oz 163 mm. 1870s-1880s
Very Good. 5 x 3 mm flake off the front base below the word Tinker, extremely shallow and quite difficult to see. There is a very faint rough spot on top of the lip but this just appears to be a manufacturing mark. Surface of the glass does have some dullness and fine scratches but these are disguised because of the beautiful crudity of the glass and the hundreds of beautiful seed bubbles throughout. Embossing is a bit light but not bad for this rare piece. Superb early Australian made glass bottle. Grade: 7.7 Estimate: $1000 - 1250
