Household Various 1. Tall slender shape. Applied double collar top. Aqua. 26 oz. 2. Half Whirly shape. Spun finished top. Sun coloured amethyst. 5 oz. 347 & 243 mm. 1880s-1910s
1. Very Good. Scattered scratches and scuffs. Some haze inside, where there is also some mostly dried baby oil. Classic Australian found vinegar bottle. 2. Broken. Has been broken half way down neck and glued back together, with one small hole remaining. Otherwise, some haze. Light scuffs and scratches. Little dip in the lip looks to be from manufacture. Unusual one and not easy to get sun coloured whirlies. Not sure on the company that used this bottle. The Vacuum Oil Co Pty Ltd is referred to as the V. O. Co Pty Ltd in newspapers articles in the 1930s which would seem too late for this bottle. Also there was a Victorian Olive Oil Co but that looks to have only been in the 1870s which is too early. Grade: N/A Estimate: $30 - 40
