No base mark. Metal top impressed G. Pritchard. (Victoria) Aerated Water Soda Syphon Round. Clear. 30 oz. 235 mm without metal spout. 1880s-1890s
Very Good. Great example of a rare syphon. Second example of these we have had and both have had the wheel cut A. Phillips name on the back suggesting Phillips bought up the old Wright & Pannifex stock. Some soda stain inside. A bit of baby oil in here too. Scratches and scuffs. Little mark underneath the trade mark. Main etched design had been highlighted around the edge with some black texta, mostly cleaned off but a bit still remains. One of the best looking syphons around. Grade: 7.8 Estimate: $400 - 600
