Pair of Maughams: 1. J. O. Ladd / Adelaide & Port. (Around base) Lumb & Co Makers Castleford. 2. C. Ladd / Adelaide & Port. (Around base) Lumb & Co Makers Castleford. (South Australia) Aerated Water Maugham Applied top. Aqua. 10 oz. 282 & 280 mm. 1870s-1880s
J. O. Ladd is Good. Dull and stained all over. A little flake and pinprick marks around the lip. Some minor pitting elsewhere. The & Port has clearly been a later addition to the mould. Speaking of later additions to the mould. The C. Ladd is essentially the same type of bottle but the J has been filled in the mould and the O converted to a C. It's a bit more scratched than the J. Ladd. Dull and stained. Some pitting and the like around. Interesting pair of early maughams. Grade: N/A Estimate: $70 - 100
