Lot 1319: Poison. A M Bickford & Sons Ltd. 9 columns of stars (alternating between 9 and 10 per column). Green. 26 oz. (South Australia) (Late Kingsley Durdin Collection)

Excellent. (8). Some inner dirt looks like it will soak out. There are some patches of rust around the bottle. One near the right shoulder across the seam looks to have some very fine associated surface flaking. Dark scuff along the seam below this. Another patch of rust towards front slightly from this, again, some very minor possible associated surface flaking. Some scratches and minor scuffs. An extremely rare and sought after South Australian poison in a lovely large size. We sold an example in Auction 58, but it was quite different, a different shade of green, the stars were different, different base mark and this one has a couple of extra rows of stars. The only of this type that we have sold. This is from the late Kingsley Durdin collection. Estimate: $1000-1500
