Frankston / Springs Co / Trade (Sea Serpent) Mark / Melbourne. Base Mark: FS. (Victoria) Aerated Water Codd Applied top. Variation of Hill's type patent with three dimples. Aqua. 13 oz. 247 mm. 1890s
Very Good. Inclusion to outside at rear has a 7 x 7 mm bruise from it, which is not overly deep. Down from this is another inclusion on the inside which has a dark snake shaped mark in it. This has about a 10 x 10 mm fracture to it on the inner surface only. Both of these are making marks. Tiny open bubble to front base edge. Some stain to the inner front. Small fisheye to rear near base edge. Scuffs and scratches scattered around, concentrated around the shoulder mainly, some more around the neck including a deeper scuff to rear chamber. A bit scuffed around the lip. A few tiny impact marks. Quite rare in this "Cyclops" variation with a single dimple to the front, also quite an early and chunky piece which is rather crude. Grade: 7.4 Estimate: $500 - 750
