This bottle is the property of / Edwards & Murphy / Ginger / Beer / Rockhampton. Impressed stamp: M / Govancroft Co / 3 / Glasgow. (Queensland) Ginger Beer Crown Seal Champagne shape. Green Top. Black Print. 10 oz. 204 mm. 1930s
Repaired. BUT, the top is pretty good with a couple of small marks at the back. There's a glaze miss to the shoulder and a bit of smudging to the print. Some fine scratches to the surface. Now here's the thing. The central part of the base has been knocked out at some stage and roughly filled. We've got a picture down the inside of the bottle for you showing the hole. At the front base edge is also a chip that you can see over about 22 x 3 mm, this has also been fairly poorly filled. In fact if the front bit was done well this bottle would look close to perfect on display. Hard one to judge! Quite rare and looks good but does have the hidden damage as described. Grade: 0 Estimate: $100 - 150
