Frank Craig / York // Patent Safe Groove / 4 / Sole Makers / Dan Rylands Ld / Barnsley. No base mark. (Western Australia). Aerated Water. Codd. Applied top. Traditional codd style patent with two tear drops. Aqua. 13 oz. 230 mm. 1880s
Very Good. (7.5). Stained throughout with a little opalescence in places, but not a lot of deeper marks. Tiny nick to rear lip edge. 20 x 4 mm bubble along the bottom of the lip on the left is a little milky. Small patch of wear to upper rear. Some small fisheyes and impact marks, but again, not a lot and nothing large. One or two surface bubbles. A few scratches and one or two scuff marks. Tiny nick to front left heel. Overall, apart from the dullness, this is a really nice example of a rare bottle. We sold an example way back in Auction 28, this example is in better condition than that was.. Estimate: $1000-1500
