F. B & M Coy Ltd / Castlemaine. No potters stamp. (Fitzgerald's Brewing & Malting Co Ltd, Victoria). Demijohn. Impressed. Stoneware Demijohn. Lip Impressed. Tan lip and neck. Unglazed outer body (for wicker basket). 2 Gallon. 375 mm. 1890s - 1900s
Good. (6). Big deep 30 x 15 mm chip to the lip which takes out half of the F. B in the stamp on the lip. Not a lot else to report. Some scuffs and wear around the body. Has been used as a phenyle container later in life and still has some of that smell and the black stain on the top is dried Phenyle. Interesting Demijohn. Scarce one but needs some work to the big lip chip. Estimate: $50-100
