216. Dr Mawdsley’s Cordial Co. Three masted
sailing ship trade mark. This superb aqua bottle
stands an imposing 364 mm tall. We have graded
this as Excellent, it has a tiny lip flake, some
scratches and scuffs throughout, small manufacturing splits to lip and a small impact mark under the front
base. We have given this a numerical grading of 8.2.
One of Australia’s rarest cordials, this is a
Melbourne bottle that is amongst the pinnacle of
cordial bottles. There are only a handful of these
known to collectors, this is a choice piece which
would top off any cordial collection or even any
general collection.
Estimate: $5000 - 6500.
161. Henry Wilding, Cross with Stars trade mark,
Queenscliff, two tone ginger beer. A fat shape bottle,
this one stands at 222 mm tall. The print has a bit
of a blue appearance to it. We have graded this as
Excellent, it has an inner lip nick, which measures
8 x 3 mm, this has some shininess to it, could be
partially from manufacture. The back base has a
shallow 12 x 4 mm flake, there is crazing in the tan
glaze at the top and some minor discolouration. We
have given this a numerical grading of 8.9.
This is an exceptionally rare ginger beer. There
are two variations, the J.W. Wilding ginger beer is
rare, this Henry Wilding version is considerably
rarer again, these are just impossible to obtain.
Of the few that we have seen, they have all had
lip damage which has been repaired, this is quite
possibly the best example known. This is a great
opportunity to buy one of the rarest Victorian
ginger beers available.
Estimate: $1000 - 1250.
319. W. E. Pardey & Co., Chemists, Geelong. Dark
Emerald Green. Only 55 mm tall. We have graded
this as Near Mint, it has tiny fleabites to lip, base and
front panel, also a scratch can be found. We have
given this a numerical grading of 9.4.
This is an exceptionally rare poison, possibly
unique! All poisons in this emerald green colour
are very sought after.
Estimate: $150 - 200.
292. Webber’s Indian Oil of Cream. Original label
stating Head Office: Launceston, Tasmania. 154 mm
tall. This is Near Mint, some grime, light base wear,
label is slightly discoloured, tiny tears to the corners. We have given this a numerical grading of 9.4.
Amazing item, most likely unique like this!
Estimate: $500 - 600.
234. Wittners Dairy & Farm, Balwyn. Clear glass quart sized milk bottle
standing 271 mm tall. This bottle
has been graded as Near Mint, it has
some light scratches, a shallow and
small flake under the base and some
minor nibbles around the sharp base
edge. We have given this a numerical
grading of 9.1.
Apart from a couple of examples,
nearly all Australian milk bottles in
the Quart size are considered rare.
This is no exception, in fact this
could be amongst the rarest of the
lot, we are not aware of any others
in collections at this stage.
Estimate: $750 - 1000.
70. H. J. Gamble, Bell trade mark,
Melbourne. This superb deep amethyst
riley stands 254 mm tall. We have
graded this as Excellent, it has light
internal haze, some rust spots, a few
scratches and scuffs, a very shallow
2 x 1 mm flake to the top of lip, some
minor wear to the lettering, but
overall is a great example. We
have
given
this
a
numerical
grading of 8.1.
This bottle was found many years
ago wedged into a stone farm fence,
where it had been for around 50
years, hence the natural deep
amethyst colour! This bottle is
exceptionally rare in this colour, it
may even be the darkest example.
Estimate: $1000 - 1250.
