Rowlands & Lewiss / Aerated Waters // Sturt Street / Ballarat. No makers mark. (Victoria). Aerated Water. Torpedo. Torpedo. Applied thin top. Aqua. 10 oz. 230 mm. 1860s
Very Good. (7). Polished. A little minor haze internally in places. Remains of some pitted scratches and scuffs externally. Some little fisheyes and impact marks. Little nibbled mark to outer lip. Decent example overall. Note on the embossing there is no apostrophe between the last two Ss of Lewis's with the second s just being slightly smaller in the print. Very hard to get early Victorian torpedo in this small embossing variety, this would be one of Rowlands' first bottles. Estimate: $100-150
