Lot 3: Biggs Sale Gippsland Antique Codd Bottle

Good. Three shallow flakes to upper lip which are relatively small. 6 x 8 mm flake to rear chamber, this would have been bigger but has been ground over at some stage to minimise it, there are a couple of small bruise type marks next to this flake. Dark deep double scuffed scratch to right neck, scuffed scratch to front right chamber, and a discoloured scuffed scratch to the right front lip as well. Some other deepish scratches down the right and deep scuffs across the front near the base on the right side. Some other minor scattered scratches, some fisheyes and minor impact marks. A little dirt to inner rear should soak out. Tiny nick under right base heel. Strong embossing has only minor marks, this is a lovely and rare little Gippsland codd. Grade: 6.6 Estimate: $300 - 400
