Victoria Cross manufacturing company - 6/21/2005 7:47:19 AM    warith   Posts: 67 Joined: 2/1/2005 From: Australia Status: offline Spring cleaning (in Winter!) and I turned up this one that I'd forgotten about. It's not quite mint, slightly sick and with a stress crack on the neck. It's also not cleaned very well... someday! It's a fairly standard shaped "worcestershire sauce" type bottle. It's embossing states "Victoria Cross Mfg Co" with a pictorial victoria cross. Anyone know it's rarity or anything about the company? A google search turned up nada, but it could be because there are huge numbers of sites dedicated to Victoria Cross recipients, and a simple sauce company doesn't quite rate amongst those.

That's a first for me! _____________________________ regards Warith www.geocities.com/newtown_bottles/newtown.html (in reply to warith) Post #: 2

RE: Victoria Cross manufacturing company - 7/6/2005 7:31:32 AM    warith   Posts: 67 Joined: 2/1/2005 From: Australia Status: offline I've checked Sands from 1877 until 1910 and couldn't find any listing. I'm thinking it's perhaps a rare Aussie one (from outside NSW) or pommie or perhaps even from NZ? I'm pretty sure it's from 1890's or early 1900's. I meant to check the Sands from 1910 to 1920 (it's certainly older than 1920), but didn't get the opportunity. It's embossing is certainly nice, shame it doesn't also have a bit more writing! < Message edited by warith -- 7/6/2005 7:31:45 AM > _____________________________ regards Warith www.geocities.com/newtown_bottles/newtown.html (in reply to warith) Post #: 5
