The property of / Abbott's / Hobart / Proprietary Limited // Caution / Persons Damaging, Retaining, or / trading with this jar, are / liable to be prosecuted. Impressed stamp: R. Fowler Ltd / T / Sydney. (Tasmania). Demijohn. Printed. Tap hole at front. Cork stopper. Wire Handle. Tan Top. Black Print. 2 Gallon. 375 mm. 1910s
Near Mint. (9.3). One really minor glaze flake to the inner lip edge. Handle is rusty but solid. Bottom of tap hole has a bit of wear. Some fine scratches and minor marks. It is unlikely that you will find a better example. We sold a similar example way back in Auction 29, however, it had a Mauri Bros potters stamp and most importantly, was an internal thread. This cork stoppered variety is the only one of this example that we have sold. Rare item and even better, in superb condition. Estimate: $750-1000
