R. Harrison / Trade (RH) Mark / Fitzroy. Base Mark: (RH). Beer Cork Stoppered Applied top. Green. 26 oz. 311 mm. 1890s
Fair. Looks much better, but has a lip repair. 30 x 10 mm chunk of the lip has either been replaced, or filled with resin. This is at the front just slightly to the left. Looks like a bit of the upper lip has had a resin repair as well. There may be a crack to the rear lip, it is a bit hard to see due to the repair colouring around the lip, but shining light through does show a line of some sort. Shallow open bubble to rear base edge. Scattered scuffs and scratches, close inspection of these scratches gives us the impression that this bottle may well have also been polished. A great shelf example of a rare bottle. Grade: 5 Estimate: $200 - 250
