R. Mackey & Co Ltd / Trade (Globe) Mark / Kalgoorlie // Dan Rylands Ld / 4 / Sole Makers / Barnsley. Smooth base. Aerated Water Codd Applied top. Niagara type four teardrop closure. Aqua. 13 oz. 242 mm. 1900s
Very Good. Had some oil on the inside, after a clean just some light haze returning but nothing too bad. External glass is surprisingly good, there is some dirty staining on the surface of the glass to the rear and a few light scratches. A tiny nibble to the rear body as well. The embossing is really good, the R of Kalgoorlie has a small chip from it, the other letters are perfect. This bottle is an odd shape, slightly dented in at the left side, when you wrap your right hand around it it fits perfectly, this was quite possibly from the manufacturing process. In fact, this is one of the better examples we have seen, with lots of these bottles having been polished after being dug from the huge Kalgoorlie tip in the early days. Grade: 7.85 Estimate: $50 - 75
