Mathews & Howey / Aerated Water / Manufacturers // Corio St / Geelong. (Victoria) Aerated Water Torpedo Applied top. Aqua. 13 oz. 228 mm. 1870s
Very Good. Polished. Dip in the lip on one side is almost certainly a making dip and not a ground chip. Annealing marks to inner lip. Remains of a few pitted scratches. Plenty of other scratches remain throughout. Some small impact marks, fisheyes and the odd pit mark scattered around. Embossing remains quite strong with relatively minor high point marks. Not a bad example of this early Geelong bottle. Grade: 7.2 Estimate: $150 - 200
