Charles Oertel's / Property / 403 Pitt Street / Sydney // Trade Mark / (Whale spouting torpedo bottles) // Cannington Shaw & Co // Ld Makers St Helens. Base: 2801. Aerated Water Codd Single way or Codd original. Applied top. Aqua. 6 oz. 194 mm. 1890s
Good. Has possibly been oiled internally. Where the lip meets the bottle it has a 10 x 2 mm flake on the trade mark side. On the trade mark itself there are three little flake chips on the torpedo bottles measuring 5 x 4 mm, 4 x 3 mm and 4 x 2 mm. There is a little bit of dullness in the glass and some minor scratches, fisheyes and little nibble type marks. A surface scratch runs over the rear embossing from top to bottom. Also a very minor open bubble near the heel. Embossing is beautifully strong and this is a great looking pictorial marble bottle. Final inspection reveals an extremely difficult to detect fracture in the right of the chamber, running down about 50 mm. This can only be seen when the bottle is on a particular angle, and is entirely undetectable from the front. Grade: 6.45 Estimate: $100 - 150
