T. B. Tinson / Cordial / Maker / Quirindi. No potters stamp. Original stopper printed: T. B. Tinson in an oval. (New South Wales). Ginger Beer. Lightning Stopper. Dump shape. Blue Print. Tan Top. 10 oz. 185 mm without stopper. 1900s
Very Good. (7.1). Upper lip has a bit of grime which will clean off, but is undamaged. There is a very minor outer lip edge flake that is only just over glaze depth, this is only about 4 x 4 mm and is directly under the wire on the left so not seen anyway. The stopper is original, the wire is very rusty, but still functions. Very shallow 5 x 5 mm glaze flake to upper part of left shoulder edge. Some fine wear and a few little nicks and tiny glaze flakes to the shoulder edge. Down the front through the left half of the badge is a very fine hairline over about 100 mm. 50 mm glaze hairline to upper rear is barely even noticeable. Another over about 60 mm to the right, again, barely noticeable. Some Blutak under the heel. Some scratches to be found. Overall, a decent example of a sought after bottle. Estimate: $300-500
