John Starkey / (Two Lions around a Star and Key) / Trade Mark / Sydney. Base Mark: 3169 / C. S & Co Ld. Aerated Water Cork Stoppered Applied top. Dump Shape. Honey Amber. 6 oz. 135 mm. 1880s
Very Good. Tiny nick to upper lip. A little bit of inner haze near the rear shoulder. Some scuffs and scratches to the front with the odd fisheye or impact mark. Similar to the rear, but more extensive. Tiny impact flake under base. Little pit marks and fisheyes around base edge. A few fisheyes to rear shoulder. Fisheye to left of blob top. Some little impacts and fisheyes to the embossing as well. A superb bottle, which is entirely untouched and as found. Looks good as is, a little oil will make it shinier. Should also come up really well with a polish if so desired. An extremely rare bottle. Grade: 7.2 Estimate: $2000 - 2500
