W. H. T. Yarrow / (Sheep) / Hughenden. Base: Rylands / Barnsley. (Queensland) Aerated Water Crown Seal Shouldered cylinder. Crude Machine finished lip. Aqua. 10 oz. 233 mm. 1910s
Very Good. Usually these are polished, this lovely example is not. Inner lip has a nibbled flake that looks like the edges have been smoothed over slightly. Couple of other tiny flakes to inner lip. There is a small upper lip fracture to right rear lip as well. Patch of stain to inner left shoulder. Some other fine inner haze in places. Some fine nibbles and marks to base heel. Embossing is very sharp and crisp, there is some flaking and nibbles to the sharp high points of the letters, the sheep is unmarked. Some scuffs and scratches to be found and the odd little impact mark. Short surface fracture to rear body looks like a fine annealing mark. Quite a solid example, these are a lovely bottle. Grade: 7.5 Estimate: $$100.00 - $150.00
