J. Dawson / St Kilda / Melbourne. Base Mark: Breffit's / Makers / London. Aerated Water Lamont Applied top, aqua, 13 oz. 229 mm. 1880s
Very Good. Bruise to inner lip, 6 x 2 mm, with a small impact mark near here as well. Couple of other small fisheyes to the upper lip. Scratching and crate wear around the shoulder. Hazy, moreso towards the bottom of the bottle. A few fisheyes to the body. Nice example of a scarce bottle, the embossing is unusual in that the ON of Dawson is extremely heavy, the remainder is good, but not as heavy. Early Melbourne lamont. Grade: 7.65 Estimate: $30 - 40
