Plummer Murphy & Co / Trade Mark / (Castle or Turret) / Regd / Sth Melbourne. Smooth base. (Victoria). Aerated Water. Patent. Champagne. Groove in lip. Marble stoppered. Applied top. Aqua. 10 oz. 234 mm. 1890s
Very Good. (7.6). Polished, but only tumbled in polishing powder by the look of it and not cutting powder, it is a very good job which retains original whittle to the glass. Slight dullness around the lip. Some fine making splits to inner lip. Tiny nibbled mark to lower lip. Little spot of nibbled wear to upper front neck. Remains of some slightly pitted scratches including some minor marks to some of the embossing, nothing at all major, and not a lot. This is a really good example of a rare variety with the chunky castle. For context, we have sold 9 of the Caledonian made variety, but only one of this type, that was way back in Auction 9 in 2012! Estimate: $300-400
