J. Schweppe & Co / 51 Berners Street / Oxford Street // Genuine Superior / Aerated Waters. Aerated Water Torpedo Applied top, thin square collar. Aqua. 10 oz. 217 mm. 1850s-1860s
Very Good. Polished. Bottle has been lightly polished to remove haze but some small amount of dullness remains inside and evidence of scratches still on the outside. Some scratches on the inner neck. Very shallow flake running along the upper lip over about 6 mm, this is extremely hard to detect. Beautiful detail over the surface of the bottle. A few little pit marks also remain and there are some annealing marks where the applied top meets the neck. Nice example of a goldfields era torpedo. Grade: 7.65 Estimate: $50 - 70
