Plummer Murphy & Co / Trade / (Castle) / Mark / Sth Melbourne / Regd 1894. Base: M. (Victoria) Aerated Water Internal Thread Applied top, spun finish. Internal Thread. Smoky Amethyst. 26 oz. 256 mm. 1910s
Good. 11 x 4 mm nibbled chip to upper right lip. A few patches of surface rust. Impact flake to front left base edge. Oiled internally. Fisheyes. Scuffs and scratches throughout. Hazy, with a fair bit of wear scattered around including scuffs and scratches. Crate wear across the embossing. This is all about the colour, which some may say is altered. I can assure you all that it is not, for I have personally found one in a Victorian creek years ago in this colour. This is entirely as made, an odd smoky colour with amethyst tones! This is from the late Roy Millar collection. Grade: 6.4 Estimate: $30 - 40
