H. E. Reading / & / Sons / Bunbury. W. A // Acme Patent / 4 / Sole Makers / Dan Rylands Ld / Barnsley. No base mark. (Western Australia). Aerated Water. Codd. Applied top. Acme patent with groove to either sided and dimple in middle. Aqua. Brown marble. 10 oz. 233 mm. 1880s
Very Good. (7.6). Some fine inner dirt will soak out. 15 x 5 mm lightly scuffed patch to upper front right. 20 x 15 mm scuffed patch to lower front. Some other scuffs in places down the front and around the embossing, and again near front and right base edge. Tiny impact near rear base edge. Just a few tiny fisheyes. A brilliant, shiny example! Yes, it has the scuffs down the front in places, but this remains by far the best example that I have handled. We have only sold one polished example before (on two occasions!). Estimate: $400-600
