Luff Bros // - // Cordial // - //. Base Mark: M. (Adelaide, South Australia). Household. Cordial. Applied top, tooled finish. Fancy neck and shoulder design. Square body. Deep sun coloured amethyst. 26 oz. 290 mm. 1910s
Excellent. (8). Hazy internally, with the outside being shiny, this is possibly contents residue staining? Looks like it may clean up a little, not sure it will all soak out though? A few fine scratches and one or two very minor scuff marks. Embossing is brilliant, there is a nibbled scrape to the top of the C, otherwise the remainder is unmarked! I don't think this has been buried. An extremely rare cordial bottle, I don't recall seeing one of these auctioned off before! Great natural sun coloured amethyst as well. Luff Bros sold their Jeparit and Nhill business in 1911 to W. H. Petrie prior to moving to Adelaide where they had this cordial made.. Estimate: $2000-2500
