C. Oertel's / Property / 403, Pitt Street / Sydney // Trade Mark / (Whale facing up the bottle spouting torpedos). Base: BGW oo. (New South Wales) Aerated Water Codd Codd original or one way pour. Applied top. Aqua. 10 oz 219 mm. 1890s
Very Good. Polished. Unusual variation. Whale is on opposite side to normal (usually when looking at the trade mark side they appear on the left, this one is on the right). Similar to Bottle 19, Page 604, Thirsty Work, Jones but does appear to be a different mould. Surfaces are quite smooth but still a bit of detail around. Some pitting remains mainly near and on the embossing. There has been a small chip or burst bubble down below the word Trade near the base edge that has been reshaped slightly and smoothed over. Attractive large trade mark and a scarce variation. Grade: 7.2 Estimate: $100 - 150
