Cascade Brewery Co. Ltd. / Brewed / Ginger Beer / Hobart / The Property of / Cascade Brewery Co. Ltd. Impressed stamp: R. Fowler Ltd. / Sydney. (Tasmania). Demijohn. Printed. Blue Blob Top. Off white body with sepia print. Rounded Spigot. 2 Gallon. 385 mm. 1920s
Very Good. (7.6). Just a couple of little glaze nicks to the lip. Left lower shoulder has a section over about 50 x 50 mm where there are many short, scuffed and discoloured scratches. These are mostly not deep, there is one or two little associated glaze flakes. I have a feeling with the right product, the discolouration will soak out leaving these marks barely noticeable, thoguh, cannot be sure on that one. There is another small patch at right shoulder and a few individual short examples down the right body. Really fine 50 mm glaze hairline up from the rear base. Under the base this contines across to the other side towards the spigot, but is extremely fine. 20 mm making split to outer lower left side of spigot. Generally shiny glaze, but you can see scratches and the odd scuff mark. The print to me looks like a dark brown colour, hence the sepia being noted. Extremely rare variety! We have sold several with the flat lip, this is the only example I have ever seen for sale with the chunky blob top on it! Estimate: $1000-1500
