John Gillespie & Co / Sydney Mills. Smooth base. (New South Wales) Household Foodstuffs Octagonal. Tool finished top. Aqua. About 5 oz. 156 mm. 1890s
Excellent. What a beautiful little bottle with nice colour, swirls and loads of bubbles. A little bit of rust stain near the base and again around the shoulder, should clean off easily enough. Gillespie Brothers were well known flour millers in Sydney and the earlier firm of John Gillespie & Co apparently also had interests in food importing and the like. This jar has the appearance of being for spices, capers or similar. Grade: 8.6 Estimate: $40 - 60
