George Lamb / Thursday Island // Wm Barnard / & Sons / London. Smooth base. (Queensland). Aerated Water Internal Thread Applied double collar top. Aqua. 10 oz. 211 mm. 1890s
Very Good. Polished. 5 x 4 mm shallow chip to the front right lip. The rest of the lip has a handful of pinprick type marks. There is a difficult to see 12 mm fracture in the bottom part of the applied top - quite possibly an annealing mark as it is not through the thickness of the glass. A couple of nibbles on the underside of the applied top as well. 7 x 4 mm burst bubble on the back shoulder. Remains of a little bit of pitting and tiny fisheyes around the surface. 4 x 3 mm impact type surface chip to the bottom of the D of Island. A much better looking bottle than that description sounds, lovely item from the far north of Australia. Grade: 7.7 Estimate: $200 - 250
