W. I. Thrower / Trade (Elephant) Mark / Launceston / Made in France. No base mark. (Te-Up marked spout). (Tasmania). Aerated Water. Soda Syphon. Round syphon. Amber. 30 oz. 245 mm. 1880s
Very Good. (7.5). Spout comes off readily to reveal a damage free lip and neck. Soda residue stain internally, this has been oiled. 4 x 2 mm surface flake to the very right part of the badge. Little nick to the left part of the badge. Left upper body has a couple of short pitted scratches. Rear pedestal base edge has a few weird marks, if this were pottery I would call them glaze misses from making. Usage wear to the heel. Some little spots of wear to be found. A few pitted scratches. Typical light scratches and scuffs that you get on syphons from having seen a bit of use over the years. A few small fisheyes. Overall, a great example of a very rare and sought after syphon, this is different to the only other example that we sold and is far better condition too! Don't miss this beauty! Estimate: $1750-2000.
Reserve: $1700.
