2 Lamonts: Bennett, Richmond (embossing up bottle variety); Trood, Melbourne. Both Kilner Bros made. Aerated Water Lamont Both applied top. Aqua. 10 oz. 234 mm & 232 mm. 1880s-1890s
Both Very Good. Polished. Both have had a tumble clean removing haze and lots of detail, scratches and scuffs can still be seen. Some impacts, fisheyes and pit marks on both. Embossing is really nice and strong on these, in fact the Bennett is the strongest we have seen. Bennett has a open lip bubble, along the lower applied top is a fracture over 15 mm, this does not go all the way through and follows the applied lip so is hidden, and from manufacture without a doubt. Also has a large fisheye to right base heel. Good, presentable bottles both would rate in the mid 7's. Grade: N/A Estimate: $30 - 50
