J. Ladd / Adelaide / Gawler / & Port. Base: FBH / Dot. (South Australia). Aerated Water. Codd. Dobson or Four way type. Applied top. Aqua. 10 oz. 229 mm. 1890s
Very Good. (7.5). Dip to rear lip is from making. 30 mm scuffed scratch down from right lip. Pitted scratch down right rear lip. 20 x up to 4 mm deep section of wear to upper right chamber. Some inner dirt, this will soak out. A bit hazy, mostly down the right side. Some little fisheyes. Some scratches and the odd scuff mark. Discoloured scrape to the second D of Adelaide. Solid example of this unusual variety where Gawler has been squeezed into the mould between Adelaide & Port. This is the actual bottle we sold in Auction 53, the purchaser received the bottle and was shocked to see it was a 10 oz that he already had, we had accidentally listed this as 6 oz! So here it is again - definitely a 10 oz size! Estimate: $100-150
