Sold for A$140
Charles Bruce Flint / Chemist (engraved). Base Mark: N. (South Australia). Demijohn. Glass. Applied top. Engraved. Light green. 3-4 gallon. 440 mm. 1900s
Excellent. (8.5). Some dust and grime which will clean off. Also some inner base dirt that needs to be cleaned out. Some fine usage wear under the heel. A few scratches here and there. Now for the big question - the engraving! This came from a deceased estate collection in the Mount Gambier region and so I couldn't ask the owner about provenance. Is the engraving original and from the time of Charles Bruce Flint when he was in Mount Gambier as a chemist? Unfortunately, we cannot verify that and so this is simply being sold as a curiosity - it may be original which would be a bonus, but nobody will be able to verify the authenticity.. Estimate: $100-150
