J. Pallier / Registered / (Castle) / Trade Mark / Woonona. Base Mark: (Dot). (New South Wales). Aerated Water. Codd. Applied top. Niagara style patent with four tear drops. "Amethyst". 10 oz. 230 mm. 1900s
Repaired. (0). Firstly, this is painted purple, not sure what colour it was before, a couple of spots where the paint has flaked looks clear, so may well go purple anyway, but cannot be sure, it is definitely not the colour it looks now! A new top has been stuck on from below the bottom of the neck groove upwards. Quite a straight cut at the back, but at the front this goes down a bit further and actually encroaches on the top of the upper embossing. Looks like some extra filler has gone in around this section up to the same straight level of the top replacement across the rear, this filler has discoloured. Crack down from the original break to the right across the seam. Obviously, purely a gap filler of what is an extremely rare and sought after bottle. Estimate: $50-75
