Cuming, Smith & Co's / Shield label space / Formalin / (Hand holding sickle) / bottle is ribbed all around. Base: M. Poison Poison Shouldered cylinder. Spun on top. Cobalt Blue. 15 oz. 215 mm. 1900s
Near Mint. Had to give this one a quick wash in some soapy water and now really struggle to find any faults. The lip which are often a bit nibbled on these is perfect on this example. Holding the bottle so light shines across the glass only picks up one or two very light scratches. On a final inspection, a tiny flaebite has been spotted on one rib near the name, there is a 12 mm line travelling along the ridge of the rib which looks like the finest fracture imaginable and only a fraction of a mm into the glass. Stunning example and a brilliant colour, with the base being much darker than the top area, the two colours nicely swirling together. Grade: 9.4 Estimate: $100 - 150
