Sold for A$1,550

Brewed and Bottled by / Regd / George Bollington / (Sunburst) Orb / Jar Pop / The World Famous / Brewed from Ginger Roots / Richmond. Potters Stamp: The Bendigo Pottery / Epsom / Bendigo. (Victoria). Ginger Beer. Cork Stoppered. Champagne shape. Blob Top. Tan Top. Black Print. 10 oz. 214 mm. 1910s

Near Mint. (9.3). Couple of tiny nicks and a short scratch or two to the lip. 8 mm very fine glaze hairline to the right lip, this is a bit longer on the inner lip but again, very much just a glaze line. Couple of minor spots of surface wear to lower lip. Couple of minor glaze miss type marks around the bottle which are making marks. A few tiny lumps and other making marks with a little surface wear. Tiny mark or two to base edge. Absolutely brilliant example! There are three varieties that we have sold, the blob top, standard cork stopper and internal thread. All are rare. This example, however, is far and away the best we have seen of any type, the often blurry stamp is clear on this one with the fine print easy to read. If you want a prime example, this is the one! Estimate: $1000-1500
