Plummer Murphy & Co / Trade Mark / (Very heavily embossed castle) / Regd / Sth Melbourne. No base mark. Aerated Water Patent Applied top. Marble stoppered. Aqua. 13 oz. 231 mm. 1890s
Very Good. Slightly dull and dirty internally, there is a light wear line on the inner base where the marble rolls around. Some scuffs and scratches, most noticeable on the rear shoulder and a small spot on the front left shoulder. Small impact mark to embossed line below the U of Murphy, another fisheye type mark to rear body and a couple of small impact type marks to the base edge on the right hand seam line. There are a few other tiny fisheyes and impact marks to be found and some light scratches to the body. The embossing is HUGE on this one, the castle really does stick out a long way! These are much harder to get in this heavily embossed variety, a superb bottle! Grade: 7.8 Estimate: $300 - 400
