Pioneer / Aerated Water / Factory / Sydney // Trade / (Axeman) / Mark / Registered. No base mark. Aerated Water Codd Applied top. Traditional Codd style patent with two tear drops. Aqua. 7 oz. 198 mm. 1890s
Good. Polished. Some little splits around the lip. Has obviously been pretty ordinary prior to the polish, the inside has some etching and irridescence to it. This has been oiled at some stage, it appears as if some of the oil has gathered in the ring inside where the top was applied to the bottle and has subseqently discoloured slightly in places. There is some pitting to the inner top and neck as well. Externally, there is still evidence of pitting and scratches, some fisheyes remain as well. An inclusion near the base has no associated damage to it. The embossing is flat and quite rounded except for the trade mark, which remains heavily embossed. A rare Sydney codd bottle! Grade: 6.3 Estimate: $400 - 500
