Armstrong & Co // Hobart Town. No makers mark. (Tasmania). Aerated Water. Torpedo. Applied top. Aqua. 10 oz. 219 mm. 1850s
Very Good. (7.1). Stained throughout. Left lip edge has a couple of 5 x 1 mm slivers which are extremely shallow and therefore extremely minor. 6 x 4 mm burst bubble just below the R of Hobart. 3 x 2 mm nibbled impact towards the seam on the Armstrong side on the lower body. Some deep, pitted scratches scattered around and a couple of patches of pitted wear as well. Some fisheyes and impact marks to be found. Decent example overall of a rare and very early bottle. This is the first we have handled with the writing on opposing sides. Estimate: $1000-1500
