Brooke's Lemon Squash // Registered Melbourne / (Lemon with CBM initials) / & / Trade Mark Christchurch N. Z. // Absolutely The Best // Regd. Design No 1261A. Base Mark: M. (Victoria, New Zealand) Household Cordial Applied top, tooled finish. Tapered. Amethyst. 26 oz. 284 mm. 1910s
Very Good. Oiled internally. Front and upper lip has a series of tiny surface flakes, quite an odd orange peel type effect that may well be from making. Tiny flake to rear lip. Four stepped rings to the neck, this is somewhat different to most Brooke's bottles. There are a couple of little nicks and impacts to these. Little sliver to left shoulder edge. A bit of haze to the rear, some scuffs and scratches. Couple of discoloured scratches to rear. A few tiny nicks scattered around. Wear to a couple of the embossed letters to the lower rear. Main embossing is great with pretty much no marks. Couple of impact marks to rear base edge, one has a very small fracture associated, basically just a small bruise. A great variation which you rarely see for sale, this is absolutely the best (well it says so on the bottle!) Grade: 7.3 Estimate: $40 - 60
