Found this bottle a while ago and have not found any info on it yet, I'd say it's from about 1900-1910. It's round, just over 8-1/2 inches tall in a nice ice blue, the base is plain and smooth, imbossed as follows N.S.W. BARBERS' SUPPLY HOUSE / CRAIG & AITKEN / SYDNEY the back is plain.
The condition is down a bit but it was dug under 8 feet of ash, lime and sand, not the best for pulling out mint bottles [;)] .

You've got to really check them. We get used to the shape and ALMOST chuck them too, but years ago, I found one that was pontil marked, so I kept it. When I cleaned the gunk off, I found it was from Baltimore, Maryland! A really scarce find.
