John Starkey / Sydney // Codd's Patent / Sole / Maker / Dan Rylands / Barnsley / 4. No Base Mark. (New South Wales) Aerated Water Codd Applied top. Traditional codd style patent with two tear drops. Aqua. 7 oz. 190 mm. 1880s
Good. Stained throughout. Plenty of fisheyes and impact marks, mostly quite dark, but also mostly small. A few little lip flakes amongst some wear and other nibbles. Scuffs and scratches throughout, the front shoulder has a few scuffed patches. Nice partner to the 13 ounce version in this auction. The pair show clearly the alteration to the makers mould, with this being a Dan Rylands only bottle, the larger one was the earlier Codd & Ryland maker, with the 4 being replaced by Sole Maker, Codd being removed and replaced with Dan and the 4 added below. You can still see some of these letters that were removed, it was a poor alteration. Great crossover bottle. Grade: 6.4 Estimate: $50 - 75
