J. Fletcher's / Aerated Waters / Koroit Street / Warrnambool // Lemonade. Smooth base. Aerated Water Codd All way pour. Applied top. Darker aqua. 10 oz. 223 mm. 1900s
Very Good. The bottle does have a burst bubble to the back on the final letter of Lemonade. This bubble measures 12 x 6 mm and is full of dirt, looking at the weird mould marks around it this defect would have been part of the bottle from the time of manufacture. Another burst bubble to the T of aerated, across the top of the letter. Some of the other letters have some minor flakes and wear. Some light stain inside and minor scuffs and wear to the outside. A few fisheyes can be found. The underside of the applied top has a couple of shallow flakes from it. A couple more shallow burst bubbles near the base at the rear. Crudely made bottle that would appear to be made by Patterson Bros or Caledonian glassworks but not marked. Strong and chunky embossing. Nice example of an unusual variation. Grade: 7.6 Estimate: $50 - 75
