A. Simpson & Son / Trade (Eagle Hawk) Mark / Eaglehawk / Made in France / Mitton & Cie. Smooth base. Metal top marked R. Harrison / Fitzroy. (Victoria) Aerated Water Soda Syphon Round type. Sun coloured Amethyst. 30 oz. 249 mm. 1890s
Very Good. Soda stain inside. Scratches and usage wear outside but this is much better than average. Excellent detail to the etched design as is often the case with these early French made syphons. The metal top is bent but comes off easily - it is interesting that once the top is off the top of the bottle itself is clear glass. It has obviously been out of the sun while the rest of the bottle has changed to a nice purple colour. A great example. Grade: 7.9 Estimate: $60 - 80
