Daniel Brown Junr / Cordial Manufacturer / Green Ponds // Codd's / Patent / London / 6 / Barnett & Foster / Sole Agents / Forston St / London / N. (Tasmania). Aerated Water. Codd. Applied, mushroom style lip. Traditional codd style narrow neck patent with two tear drops. Hybrid. Aqua. 10 oz. 246 mm. 1870s
Repaired. (0). This has a new lip on, the chamber is original and the lip used is the correct style, this looks great as a shelf example. There is a chip to the lower left lip. A bit hazy internally. Looped crack to left upper chamber comes down 25 mm and the widest part is 35 mm. Reasonably shiny externally with only minor marks such as a few fine scratches and the odd scuff mark. Even the rear embossing is crisp and easily read, of the broken ones I have seen the Forston St has been illegible. 25 x 3 mm shallow sliver to front upper chamber. An extremely rare, early and sought after patent from what is now known as Kempton in Tasmania. Estimate: $750-1000
