Rowland & Sons // Manufacturers // New York. U. S. Round indent to base. (Australia). Spirits. Sarsaparilla. Square. Applied wide collar top. Mid Blue. 26 oz. 230 mm. 1870s-1880s
Excellent. (8.2). Despite the city name these are an Australian bottle. More or less identical in basic moulding to the Livingstones sarsaparillas. Some large patches of dullness but mostly free of deeper marks. Some internal dirt and stain. Very minor impact at the top of the shoulder on the New York panel. A few scratches and spots of wear. Superb deep colour and has a swirl of green glass to the middle of the Manufacturers panel. Very crudely made of course. Wonderful bottle. Estimate: $4000-6000.
Reserve: $3500.
