R. W. S. Dainty / Mt Barker. Base Mark: F B H / O O. (South Australia). Aerated Water. Lamont. Applied top. Aqua. 10 oz. 232 mm. 1890s
Very Good. (7.1). Some fine inner dirt should soak out. Small patch of haze to front neck. A little surface rust to lower rear and some more to the embossing at the front. 30 mm pitted scratch to right along the mid seam. Short scuffed scratch to front above the badge with a scuffed mark next to it as well. Scuffed area to middle of badge with a small pitted scratch amongst this. Scuffed scratch down left rear, but this one does not look deep. Lower half of the front has reasonably extensive scratches, but these are shallow giving this bottle a little bit of a dull appearance in this region. Tiny surface flake under front heel. Some other scuffs and scratches scattered around. Very rare bottle from the Adelaide Hills, the first we have sold. Estimate: $500-750
