Cascade Brewery Co Ld / (Life Buoy) / Life Buoy / Trade Mark / Brand / Sparkling Sparkling / Dandelion / Ale / Hobart. Tasmania. Impressed stamp: Bourne / Denby. (Tasmania) Ginger Beer Cork Stoppered Champagne shape. Blue lip, Tan shoulder. Black Print. 10 oz. 222 mm. 1890s
Good. The whole top had been overpainted but having removed quite a bit it seems this was to cover 11 x 8 and 10 x 5 mm chips on either side of the lip and a 3 x 2 mm mark on the front of the lip. About 4 shallow chips around the back and left base edge. Two extremely fine hairlines to the lower and mid left side. Essentially a much better example than we originally thought. You'd be better off completely removing the current over painting and getting the repairs finished properly. Classic bottle. Grade: 6.9 Estimate: $750 - 1000
