Summons & Co / Registered / Trade / (Kangaroo) / Mark / Sydney. Smooth base. Aerated Water Corker Dump shape cylinder. Applied blob top. Cobalt Blue. 10 oz. 158 mm. 1880s-1890s
Very Good. Almost as good as the previous lot. Colour is a shade or two darker. A little bit more scuffy however to offset that the embossing is a touch stronger. There is a shallow mould mark or flake off the mid back that measures 6 x 3 mm. Slightly deeper 8 mm scratch near this flake at the rear. Surface of the bottle is just dull in spots with noticeable scuffs and scratches spread around. Inside could actually use a bit more of a clean as there is some dirt still in the shoulder area and body, maybe some light haze internally as well. Very nice example of this classic Australian bottle. Grade: 7.7 Estimate: $400 - 500
