H. G. Coombs / Regd Trade Mark / (Emu) / Penrith. Impressed: Mauri Bros & Thomson Ld / Pinnacle. (New South Wales). Ginger Beer. Cork Stoppered. Dump. Tan top. Black Print. 10 oz. 168 mm. 1900s
Very Good. (7). Looks rougher than it is. Lip has some glaze wear and rubbing. Patches of rust stain all around and in fact some patches are pretty much just dirt. To the right side there is a dark scrape on the surface down most of the height of the white part. Between this and the print is a very fine upside down Y shaped hairline also down most of the length of the white part. This hairline however can't be felt with a fingernail so should pretty much disappear with a good clean. Rare variety, this is in fact the first example we have had that doesn't have "Brewed Ginger Beer" below the print and in fact the print itself is quite a bit cruder than the types we have sold in the past. Good bottle that will clean up very nicely. Estimate: $300-600
