George Hiscox / Guildford // Reliance Patent / 4 / Sole Makers / Dan Rylands Ld / Barnsley. No base mark. (Western Australia) Aerated Water Codd Applied top. Reliance Patent. Amber. 13 oz. 234 mm. 1880s
Very Good. Polished. Just a little light inner stain to the inner left lip and upper left body. Some fine making splits to upper lip. Three 5 mm horizontal mark to the rear body are surface splits that only go a short distance into the glass. Looks to be a scratch to the inner left surface. Tiny surface nick near rear base. A few small fisheyes. Couple of little pitted marks. Embossing is great, only slightly rounded, it remains very strong, even the rear writing is strong as you will see through the bottle in the photographs. There are some little nicks and marks to the embossing in places, but it remains really good. An extremely rare bottle, we have never seen one for sale anywhere! Better than average polish job for a WA bottle as well, this is a prime example which is a must have for any serious collector! Grade: 7.5 Estimate: $12500 - 15000
