Goulburn Valley Co / Regis (World) tered / Trade (World) Mark / Melbourne // G.V.C. M.G.B.Co makers mark around rear heel. Base Mark: GVCo. (Victoria). Aerated Water. Codd. Applied top, dobson patent four way pour marble bottle. Aqua. 10 oz. 225 mm. 1890s
Excellent. (8.4). Couple of very minor lip impacts. Small amount of fine inner dirt which will clean out. Small spot of wear to the T of Trade, the rest of the embossing is great! A few fine fisheyes. 10 mm slightly pitted scratch to front left near base edge. A few other scratches and a few scuffs to be found, but nothing deep. Original, shiny condition, this is far and away the best example we have ever seen. Hard enough bottle to get, in this condition though I would say extremely rare. This one came out of New Zealand, hence the nice condition as it was not dug out of the early Melbourne tips like most others that are known. Estimate: $300-400
