Lot 99: Mathews Geelong Harp Torpedo Bottle

« Back to Sale

Sold for A$571

P. Mathews & Co / Trade (detailed Harp) Mark / Geelong. No makers mark. Aerated Water Torpedo Applied blob top. Aqua. 10 oz. 229 mm. 1890s

Very Good. Scarce variety with embossing in "tram tracks". Inside has light milky stain. Outside is hazy and there is rust stain mainly to the left side, also a very shallow 4 x 2 mm open bubble at this spot. Surface scratches and marks can be seen and there is an impact mark on the point of the base. Some really small little fisheye type marks are scattered about. One slightly deeper scratch on left seam towards base, about 12 mm. Embossing is tremendously strong and while being a respectable example, this bottle will be a beauty with a tumble clean. Grade: 7.35 Estimate: $200 - 300
