H. T. Smith / Trade (HTS) Mark / Sydney / 1884. No base mark. Aerated Water Patent Applied top. Aqua. 6 oz. 167 mm. 1880s
Very Good. Has the original metal stopper. Most of the front is quite good, the right hand side and rear look to have been exposed in the ocean, looks like it has been rubbed with sand for some years. There is a shiny section down the rear and then another sandblasted type strip behind the left seam line. Whilst this is obvious, it does not appear to deep, and so may polish out? The front base edge has two small flakes. Little flake to rear shoulder, another to rear base edge. A rare bottle with Sydney, not to be confused with the Toronto version from a time prior to Smith arriving in Australia. Grade: 7 Estimate: $250 - 300
