A. B. James / Trade (Rooster) Mark / Registered / Bathurst. Base: BGW. (New South Wales). Aerated Water. Lamont. Lamont. Applied top. Aqua. 10 oz. 220 mm. 1890s
Very Good. (7). Polished. Corking ding type bruise to the inner front right lip of about 10 x 4 mm. Most of the surface is very smooth with remains of pit marks and the like scattered around. The embossing has been protected in the polish but shows a lot more pitting and roughness around it. A groove just to the right of the Rooster looks like a deep scratch has been smoothed down. The embossing is weak but this is largely as these were made. A weird surface "split" of 10 mm but only a fraction of a mm deep down near the left base edge. Decent example of a scarce Lamont. Estimate: $200-400
