E. C. Watson / Mark (Swagman cracking a bottle of fizzy next to his billy with his dog at his feet) Trade / Rutherglen. Base Mark: M. Aerated Water Codd Applied top. All way pour. Aqua. 6 oz. 188 mm. 1900s
Poor. 7 x 3 mm flake that has been filled to upper left lip, this has yellowed over the years. 27 x 16 mm hole in left shoulder has also been filled, this is horribly discoloured. Coming from this hole is a large star fracture that measures 45 mm in the vertical dimension, also about 45 mm in the horizontal dimension with a couple of other legs coming from this. A piece may have been glued in above the horrible repair as well. Oiled internally. Tiny flake to rear body. Stained throughout with scuffs and scratches. Scattered little impact marks and fisheyes. This is often rated as one of the best codds in Australia due to the iconic and detailed swagman trade mark. This is a poor example, but will look better with some work, and is likely to be the only opportunity that most of us will have to obtain one. Grade: 1 Estimate: $50 - 75
