J. Schweppe & Co / 51 Berners Street / Oxford Street // Genuine Superior / Aerated Waters. (United Kingdom). Aerated Water. Torpedo. Applied, thin lip. Light lime green. 10 oz. 211 mm. 1840s
Good. (6.5). Stained all over. Deep scratches and some pitting. Fleabites to the lip. Overall though a very nice early type with the thin little lip, looks a good colour too. NOTE: This item sold in Auction 52. The purchaser returned the item as it was not as described, being a "bog standard variety that has had half the lip ground down". Upon receiving the item in return we can verify with 100% certainty that this is the early version, not the common standard variety, and that the lip is untouched and as made in this thin style. A great bottle which has ABSOLUTELY NOT had any lip grinding done to it! Estimate: $200-300
