C. Oertel's / Property / 403 Pitt Street / Sydney // Trade Mark / (Whale Spouting Torpedo Bottles). Base Mark: O O / B G W. (New South Wales). Aerated Water. Cork Stoppered. Applied top, long neck. Dark Green. 6 oz. 174 mm. 1890s
Repaired. (0). The lip has been stuck on, it is the correct type of top and well done, I didn't notice this originally. On the trade mark side, at the bottom of the lip where it is joined there is a thin hole which is not obvious. Little pitted scratch to upper rear lip. Small nibbled flake to base edge. Some inner dirt. Some patches of haze and wear. Scuffs and scratches scattered around. A little rust in places. Great looking example which looks perfect on the shelf. Very rare, this is the first we have sold and is a great gap filler for your collection. Estimate: $100-200
