G. H. Elliott / Trade / (E) / Mark / Melbourne. Smooth base. (Victoria). Aerated Water. Codd. Codd original or one way pour. Flat panel to back. Spun finished top. Aqua. 10 oz. 240 mm. 1910s
Excellent. (8.5). Beautiful example of a rare and very unusual bottle. Some scratches on the front shoulder and a little run of surface fisheyes at one end of this. A fleabite or two on the embossing. Trade mark is a little weak. Very shallow 10 x 7 mm burst bubble mid back. A very minor 5 mm fracture in the surface of a bubble near the back base. A little haze inside the base. Sticky tape residue around lip, this will clean off. Great and rare bottle, don't think it has ever been discovered why Elliotts had these flat backed bottles made but they certainly can't have had that many of them! This is the same example that we sold in Auction 26. Estimate: $700-1000
