Nice acquisition!This is the most iconic and desirable Australian bottle and i finally acquired a repaired one.
It dates to the 1850s with a registration date of 1847.
Uncle Bruce, would you give us a little background on this bottle?This is the one I'd like to acquire:

As far as I know it is considered a super rare, embossed beer bottle from Australia. The last nice specimen that I saw was on feeBay as a buy it now and sold for $4500 American. Nice color, nice flag image, small town, age and a string blob lip adds to the desirability of the bottle. I doubt that I will own one, but I like to dream.Uncle Bruce, would you give us a little background on this bottle?
Yes that’s a lovely beer. One sold for a little over a thousand dollars in an ABCR auction in 2011 so nowadays 3000+ would be likely.As far as I know it is considered a super rare, embossed beer bottle from Australia.
