Plummer Murphy & Co / Trade / (Castle) / Mark / Sth Melbourne / Regd 1894. Base Mark: A. Wooden stopper for a Marchants. (Victoria) Aerated Water Internal Thread Applied top. Aqua. 26 oz. 258 mm. 1890s
Excellent. This does have a small flake chip to inner base rim. A little bit of fine surface dirt internally, looks like it will soak out. Great embossing. The trade mark has a few little spots of wear and scratches, one or two nibbles as well. A few scratches, nothing deep. This beautiful bottle is full of air bubbles, a superb piece of glass. Similar to the example we sold in the last auction with the V base mark, this one has an A base mark. We think this is for the Australian Glass Bottle Works who were based in Brunswick. Grade: 8.2 Estimate: $100 - 150
