G. H. Billson / (Shield) / Trade (Crossed Hatchets) Mark / G.H.B / Melbourne. Smooth base. (Victoria) Aerated Water Codd Dobson or Four way type. Spun finished top. Aqua. 10 oz. 221 mm. 1900s
Excellent. What a beauty! Stunning original condition. Very unusual too with the earlier name (without & Co) but a spun top. Would date to around 1905. There is a tiny 2 x 2 mm flake to the side lip. A 3 x 1 mm impact to the lower front top. A 2 x 2 mm impact at the lower back. Some slight surface dirt and haze towards the base. Embossing is just about perfect. Kind of a squat shape. You won't find a better example of this bottle. Grade: 8.9 Estimate: $70 - 100
