Sold for A$1,050
S. P. Weymouth / Wine & Spirit Merchant / Loch. No potters stamp. (Gippsland, Victoria). Demijohn. Impressed. Handled stoneware Demijohn. Impressed. Tan Top. 1 Gallon. 309 mm. 1900s - 1916
Good. (6.6). Handle is broken off and there is an 18 x 16 mm chip to the back top. Rest of the demijohn looks great with just some minor scuffs and marks. Small gouge at the back base edge looks to be from making. First I've heard of a demijohn from Loch! Possibly a spelling mistake as there are many more mentions for F. P. Weymouth (or sometimes Waymouth) on Trove. But the store was definitely there in 1905 and was sold in 1916 with Cr Gillespie from Outtrim taking over. Estimate: $400-800
