This bottle is the property of O. T. Ltd Melbourne & Sydney / Ginger / Beer. (Victoria & New South Wales). Ginger Beer. Crown Seal. Tall champagne shape. Chocolate top. Black Print. 10 oz. 225 mm. 1910s-1920s
Near Mint. (9.2). A couple of pinprick marks on the lip. A 5 x 2 mm flake at the back base edge which could even be from the time of manufacture. A couple of other base edge flakes that are likely from making. Note that under the rim of the crown seal is a very neat unglazed line about 1.5 mm wide. This has been deliberately done by the potter and is completely original. A really interesting facet of this bottle. A rare bottle and this one is about as good as they come. (This is the exact bottle as sold in Auction 34, Lot 587).. Estimate: $700-1000
