Wm Ride / Trade (Hanging Sheep / Golden Fleece in a shield) Mark / Benalla. No base mark. Aerated Water Torpedo Applied top. Aqua. 10 oz. 240 mm. 1880s
Excellent. Tiny nick to outer blob. Has possibly had a very fine layer of resin applied to the upper lip to disguise what would have been very minor flaking. The inner lip has crude making marks. Does have some light scratches and scuffs over the surface, mainly around the fattest part of the bottle. Embossing is a little weak which is typical of these. No major faults. Nice example of this country Victorian torpedo bottle. Grade: 8.1 Estimate: $80 - 100
