Utica // Hop // Bitters // JKB & Co. (J. K. Blogg & Co., Melbourne) Smooth base. Spirits Bitters Square section, semi-cabin shape. Applied top. Blue tinged aqua. 20 oz. 244 mm. 1890s
Very Good. Solid enough bottle but needs a tumble clean. Dullness over most of the surface inside and out. Has a little 3 x 2 mm flake to the top of the lip. Surrounding this flake is a 14 mm long fracture that is very difficult to see. Some scratches and scuffs can be found around the body and shoulder, including a few deeper, short scratch/scuff marks. There is an inclusion on one side panel, across from this is a small impact mark. A reasonably scarce, albeit rather plain, Melbourne bitters. Grade: 7 Estimate: $20 - 40
