Very Good. (7.4). James Wilson from Holly Park, Crouch Hill, London registered the Wilson's Patent on 17th March, 1899. This example has some minor inner neck haze and some minor stain to inner base which looks like contents residue type staining which may soak out. Very fine surface scratch in a diagonal line to lower rear, this is exceedingly minor. 3 x 3 mm chip to one base edge corner. 4 x 3 mm butterfly bruise to upper embossed line below the word caution, tiny mark to left of this as well. Great looking bottle, the marks are only minor. We have never sold one of these before. These come in a range of sizes between 1/2 oz and 8 oz (possibly more), this 2 ounce is one of the less frequently seen sizes that I have seen for sale. This is from the late Kingsley Durdin collection. Estimate: $100-200
