J. O. Ladd / Adelaide. Dot to centre of base. (South Australia) Aerated Water Patent Known as a Tapp's patent to South Australian collectors. Unusal short applied top with a ledge formed in the neck for the internal stopper to seal against. Aqua. 10 oz. 213 mm. 1870s-1880s
Very Good. Polished. Smooth surfaces. Remains of a little pitting. Under the base is an airbubble with a fine fracture just in its surface. Smooth top of lip but not much done to this as these have an unusual small top and the height is normal for this bottle. Embossing is light from manufacture but clear. Quite a nice example of a rare and unusual bottle. Grade: 7.5 Estimate: $150 - 200
