J. Hives / & / Son. Impressed Stamp: Mauri Bros & Thomson / Pinnacle / Sydney. Ginger Beer Cork Stoppered Dump shape, blob top. Tan top, white base, black print. 10 oz. 170 mm. 1900s
Good. Displays well but at the back we see a long curved crack running almost the full length of the bottle. This crack is quite tight and for nearly all of its length could be described as a hairline. On the opposite side of the top from this is a fine hairline that runs down the outside to the shoulder, spreading out to a Y below the lip, this is darker on the inside of the lip and actually splits in two directions internally near the top. Bottle is worn with some light stain. Small glaze flakes and marks to the top, neck and shoulder. Couple of tiny nicks under the base. Looks fine on the shelf as it is but worthy of a good soak and clean up. Grade: 6 Estimate: $20 - 40
