F. G. Ashby / F. G. A / Kyneton / British Syphon Co. Ltd. London. No base mark. Spout marked: F. G. Ashby / Kyneton. (Victoria) (James A. Lerk Collection) Aerated Water Soda Syphon Pyramid shape. Apricot. 30 oz. 315 mm with spout. 1920s
Very Good. The spout has broken off of the top. The top is firmly stuck in place so we have not removed it to check the lip, which we presume is fine. Soda residue staining internally. Impact flake chip to front base edge to one of the ribs. Some grime. A bit of wear to ribs around the lower body, not very much though. A couple of impacts and fine fisheyes to base edge. Some scratches and minor scuffs to be found. Less of the typical marks of a syphon than usual. We have never sold one of these in this colour, this is a nice piece from the James A. Lerk collection. Grade: 7.3 Estimate: $400 - 500
