Manger & O'Neill / Fine Old / Ginger / Beer / Echuca // This bottle is the property of / Manger & O'Neill, Echuca. No potters stamp. Hoffman stopper. (Victoria). Demijohn. Printed. Internal Thread Demijohn. Blue Lip. Black Print. Half Gallon. 241 mm. 1920s
Very Good. (7.1). Some grime which should soak off. About a 25 x 12 mm flat chip has been repaired under the front lip, there are a couple of scratches through the blue paint here showing the white fill material. A really good job, this is not obvious, yet you can make out the very limited extent of the original chip, much better than a similar repair where the entire demijohn is painted to blend in the small repair. Some fine crazing throughout from making. A few minor discoloured spots. A few scratches and minor marks. This is a really good example of a very hard to get demijohn. Estimate: $600-800
