J. Ross & Co / Pioneer Mineral Water / Manufacturers / (Elephant) / Johannesburg & / Doornfontein // Dan Rylands Ld / 4 / Sole Makers / Barnsley. (South Africa). Aerated Water. Codd. Codd original or one way pour. Torpedo base. Applied top. Aqua. 10 oz. 250 mm. 1880s
Good. (6.1). Stained throughout with opalescence and some etching. Some little flakes and nicks around the lip edge. Little flake or two near base point. Some little surface impact flakes. Fisheyes and impact marks scattered around. Some scratches and scuffs. An early J. Ross & Co hybrid! I got excited when I first saw that. Even though this is South African in the end, it is not one that I have seen before over here, so is presumably one of the rarer South African hybrids. Estimate: $100-150
