Sharpe Bros Australia and New Zealand stopper. Demijohn Printed Internal Thread. Deep grooves deliberately made around shoulder and base. Tan Top. Black Print. Gallon. 325 mm without stopper. 1920s
Excellent. Rare variety with the deep grooves around the shoulder and base. These had rubber bands in them and the vendor has replaced the bands. Some light wear and marks. Down the back are some small scrapes and marks, also some spots of paint. Bands have been glued in place but looks like a few little flakes at the edges of the grooves. Nice example. Grade: 8.4 Estimate: $150 - 200
