H. Pike & Co / Oakbank. Base Mark: H / H. (South Australia). Aerated Water. Maugham. Applied top. Aqua. 10 oz. 277 mm. 1900s
Excellent. (8.2). Tiny sliver to front upper right lip, can only just be felt, feels like a scratch. Crude folds in neck from making. A line of contents residue type staining to inner mid body, I have a feeling this will soak out. Couple of slightly scuffed scratches down the rear, these are pretty much only on the surface. Some other light scratches and the odd minor scuff. Superbly strong embossing, the I has a couple of little impact flakes, tiny sliver to last K of Oakbank and a few other letters have tiny spots of wear, mostly it is pristine though. Lots of little bubbles, some of these are at the surface. Beautiful bottle all round and amazingly rare, we have never sold one before. Estimate: $750-1000
