Patent / The .A1. / Dan. Rylands / Barnsley. No base mark. (United Kingdom). Aerated Water. Patent. Applied, patent lip with slide and twist style metal and glass stopper for sealing purposes. Flask with diamond pattern to body. Aqua. 1/2 Pint. 181 mm without stopper.. 1880s
Near Mint. (9). Amazing thing! The metal cage around the glass stopper is ovoid. There are lugs on the neck which will only allow the stopper to lift up when the metal frame is at its widest over these lugs. Couple of annealing marks to the inner lip are making marks. Maybe a tiny nick or two where the glass stopper sits on the upper lip. Tiny flake to side base edge. Tiny surface bubble to base edge. A few light scratches and minor marks. Great item all round.. Estimate: $300-400
