Watson & Scott / (Unofficial Australian Coat of Arms) / Melbourne // Trade Mark / Rd on both shoulders // Reliance Patent / 4 / Sole Makers / Dan Rylands Ld / Barnsley. Smooth base. (Victoria). Aerated Water. Codd. Reliance Patent. Applied top. Aqua. 10 oz. 232 mm. 1890s
Very Good. (7.5). Hazy, but also has some shiny patches. A few relatively small fisheyes scattered around. Little nibbled surface impact to front right base edge. A few scratches and the odd minor scuff mark. Tiny nick to rear heel. The OTT of Scott is a bit flatter than the rest, this is as made as this bottle has never been polished. Which in fact, at least in my mind, makes this one of the best examples that I have seen! We have sold a few over the years, but all polished or damaged. This has some haze, but most of the other marks are actually quite shallow surface type marks. Estimate: $500-750
