Headley's Wagga / Trade (Cat's Head) Mark / Regd / Aerated Spring Waters. No base mark. (New South Wales) Aerated Water Cork Stoppered Applied top, tooled finish. Aqua. 7 oz. 180 mm. 1910s

Very Good. This has the oddest of marks! A 15 x 12 mm chip like mark to the right rear mid body which looks like where a chip has been polished out, but I have never seen a tool capable of polishing this divot out without leaving telltale signs. With the mould marks seemingly slightly going over the edge, this looks like a making mark, again, never seen a making mark like it either. Apart from this, the bottle is superb. Right rear shoulder has a little flake and a scrape mark near this. Little impact under base. A few little nicks and nibbles to embossing. A few scratches to be found. I have only marginally lowered the grading due to the odd mark as I feel it is from making. Grade: 7.9 Estimate: $$50.00 - $75.00
