J. T. Shepheard & Co / (Star with Star / Works) / Geraldton // 4. (Western Australia). Aerated Water. Torpedo. Applied top. Cobalt. 10 oz. 232 mm. 1880s
Very Good. (7.5). Hazy, heaviest down the right and rear as well as around the base region, but much of the front is reasonably shiny. Annealing splits around the inner lip from making. Tiny nick to upper left rear. One or two other tiny nicks. Some scratches and scuffs including a few patches of wear to the right and on the edge of the trade mark at the front. Some little fisheyes and impact marks. Great example overall, most of these are polished and have lost a lot of detail, this unpolished, yet still partly shiny example is in my mind better than most polished examples! Estimate: $1500-2000
