Wolstenholmes / West / Maitland / Aerated Water Co. Smooth base. Aerated Water Internal Thread Champagne shape. Applied, tooled finished top. Aqua glass. 26 oz. 258 mm. 1900s-1910s
Excellent. Would grade as Near Mint but for 3 little spots of rust and some fine scratches on the back shoulder. Further down the back are some more fine scuffs and scratches and the front has a scattering of lighter scuff type marks. There is a scratch above the embossing which is slightly deeper. A few light internal scratches behind the embossing, with some more light scratches internally in the rear neck region. Embossing is impressive and strong with only a couple of very minor marks to be found on close inspection. Little bit of rust to be seen under front base. Stopper is not original and is in fact a Sharpe Bros hands across the sea. This is absolutely a wonderful example of this rare internal thread. Great opportunity for Internal thread or Aerated Waters collectors. Grade: 8.8 Estimate: $600 - 800
