Sold for A$210

J. J. Trait / Ginger / Trade (J. J. T.) Mark / Beer / Geelong. Potters stamp: C A P. (Victoria) Ginger Beer Lightning Stopper Two tone, tan top, off white body. Black Print. Lightning Stopper. 13 oz. 218 mm without stopper. 1900s

Very Good. Stopper and wire is not original. Little flake next to front wire lug. Crack up from this over 20 mm joins a crack down from the lip on the right that goes down to the mid right body, but is very hard to see for much of this. From this just below the lip a crack goes across about 12 mm with a tiny bit of edge flaking, then goes back up to the lug for the wire again. Hairline from left lip goes down just into the white section. Blowout to mid rear. Minor rear base edge flake. A little surface wear in places. Some scratches and minor marks. A great looking bottle from this enigmatic potter. Nobody knows what CAP stands for. Grade: 7 Estimate: $100 - 150
