J. H. Chalker / Trade (Horse Shoe with J H C H within) Mark / Harden. Base Mark: S. Aerated Water Crown Seal Applied top, tooled finish. Crown seal skittle. Aqua. 10 oz. 213 mm. 1910s
Excellent. Very minor light scuffs to the external part of the lip. Some light scratches mainly to the wide part of the body which have a slightly rusty coloured appearance to them. On the front there is one to the right of the writing and one near the word TRADE. A few other light scuffs and scratches. Internally there is a very light haze from the lower neck region downward, this would be contents residue. This is a superb bottle, it has nice whittling throughout and some crude spots and flecks through the glass. There is a small green streak within the glass in the lip region. The embossing is crisp and clear on this beauty, only a couple of tiny marks to be found. This is an extremely rare bottle which is in fine show condition as is, one of very few large size pictorial crown seal skittles from country NSW! Reserve: $1,000. Grade: 8.7 Estimate: $1000 - 1500
