J Schweppe & Co / Genuine Superior // Aerated Waters / 51 Berners Street / Oxford Street. Aerated Water Torpedo Applied chisel type top. Light green. 13 oz. 225 mm. 1850s
Excellent. Very crude and chunky lip, there is some roughness around this, but it is from manufacture. There are some scratches to the wide part of the bottle. Light wear to the pointed base area. Tiny surface nick at the end of Co. 6 x 3 mm surface bubble amongst the embossing. Some very light high point wear to the embossing at the wide part of the bottle. A few spots of surface dirt internally. Lovely crude striations to the glass in the neck, orange peel effect to the lower half of the bottle. Nice swirls throughout the glass. This is a very early Schweppe bottle in fantastic condition. This variation with the three lines of writing close together on one side is one that we have not seen before, it appears that the mould has been altered around Oxford Street. Grade: 8.2 Estimate: $300 - 400
