Lager / Bier / Victoria Brewery / (Large V around a bird escaping a cage) / East Melbourne // This Bottle is the Property / of the Victoria Brewery. Base: (Dot) M (Dot). With original lightning stopper, bail and wire. (Victoria). Beer. Lightning Stopper. Champagne. Applied top. Original metal lightning stopper. Green. 26 oz. 306 mm without stopper. 1900s
Near Mint. (9.1). Some grime and a couple of tiny making marks to upper lip. Internal contents residue type staining, I have a feeling this will soak out. Some grime in places. I thought an R has a scrape mark, but I scratched it and it was grime which scraped off. Some corrosion to the stopper and bail. Barely even a scratch, there may be one or two but they are light, I don't think this has been buried. Embossing is brilliant, strong and detailed. A wonderful example, the original stopper really sets this off as a great addition to any beer collection. Estimate: $300-400
