W. Bruce & Sons / (WB monogram) / Bendigo / Made In France. No base mark. (Victoria) (James A. Lerk Collection) Aerated Water Soda Syphon Applied top, spun finish. Clear. 30 oz. 247 mm. 1900s
Excellent. Fine inner dirt that looks like it will mostly wash out. Spot of deep wear to right upper lip. Scratch across upper front lip. A few fine fisheyes around the shoulder. A few little nicks to pedestal base and another fisheye or two. Some fine scratches to body and one or two more fisheyes. Odd glass swirls through the badge where the sand blasting has not struck properly giving it a unique effect. Couple of dark marks to the badge. Much less in the way of the usual marks seen on a soda syphon, this is a great example of quite a scarce syphon. This is from the James A. Lerk collection. Grade: 8.2 Estimate: $100 - 150
