Sold for A$430
S. A. Maas / Schiedam (On applied seal). No base mark. (Netherlands). Spirits. Gin. Applied top. Applied seal. Dark Olive Green. 40 oz. 330 mm. 1860s
Very Good. (7.5). Has #12 in texta to right upper body. Inner dirt, this should soak out. A bit of outer grime, there is some patchy surface rust as well. 4 x 5 mm flake to right rear shoulder. Tiny nick to right rear near base edge. Some scratches and the odd scuff mark. Crude folds to the seal, particularly to the lower part, these are pretty much as made, there may be a small nibble or two amongst them but mostly, it is as made. A great bottle in this huge size! The only other one that we have sold was only 192 mm high, at around 330 mm high, this beast totally eclipses that, and most other gins for that matter, a true monster! Estimate: $100-150
