Sold for A$3,100
Syd. W. Lower / O. K / Port Adelaide // Kilner Bros Makers / London. No base mark. (South Australia). Aerated Water. Codd. Applied top. Niagara style with four tear drops. Aqua. 10 oz. Still full with contents. 225 mm. 1890s
Very Good. (7.8). 4 x 2 mm shallow flake to upper left lip. 3 x 6 mm very shallow sliver to outer left lip. Tiny nibbled impact to left lip edge next to this. Grime which will clean off, obviously this was never buried so this is likely grime from being under a house for a hundred years, it will come off leaving an amazing example with nothing but shiny gloss throughout. There are a few fine scratches. Strong embossing is brilliant, there is a couple of little flakes and nicks. Extremely rare bottle, we sold an ocean found stained example in the last auction which was the first we had sold, this is a premium example, you rarely see any codds with original contents, but such a rare bottle in the first place makes this an opportunity not to be missed. Estimate: $2000-3000
