Auction 24 - Lots 101 to 112

101	Kennedy and Co., Ottawa jug. This is a great little half gallon jug from Ottawa with a fabulous shape. The high shoulder and non existent neck give this one a lot of character. Four lines of writing look great on this small piece. Large chip out of the lip. Two large fine hairlines intersect at mid body on the right side. These are hard to see and not visible at all from the front. This jug comes from the collection of well known collector and researcher, Don MacKenzie, founder of the Bytown Bottle Club around 1970. Don has left his prints on the base of the jug. Local History 1851:James Kennedy, tavern owner, Kent St. Bytown 185- to 1863.

Opening Bid: $40 Estimated Range: $60-$80 Sold for $140

104	Walsh and Willerton Toronto Soda. This Walsh & Willerton is a great heavily embossed specimen. Dated 1869. Smooth base. Near mint. Likely tumbled. Small chip off base edge.

105	David Lemon, Toronto Hutchinson. The David Lemon hutch is one of the scarcer Toronto varieties. This one is a lovely pale green rather than the standard bluish aqua. Great colour! Tumbled to a perfect gloss. Heavy embossing. Perfect! Gorgeous! Opening Bid: $50 Estimated Range: $75-$100 Sold for $50
106	Westminster Brewery, New Westminster BC Nice quart size applied lip beer. Minor scuffs and scrapes but nothing serious. There is a small cooling fissure in a large bubble on the front (above the B in Brewery). Its pretty minor and done in-making, but is mentioned for accuracy. Orange amber. Plenty of bubbles. Heavily embossed. A good BC beer. Opening Bid: $300 Estimated Range: $400-$500 Sold for $375
107	Pink Thorpe Syphon, Vancouver B.C. Very attractive Thorpe syphon in a rose coloured glass. These tapered panneled syphons are highly collectible. Heavy interior stain.

The top is marked for Cross & Company. Opening Bid: $100 Estimated Range: $150-200 Returned to consignor
108	British Aerated Soda Works, St John's, Newfoundland. This is a nice example of a scarce Canadian Codd. This British Aerated Water Works soda hails from St. John's Newfoundland. It measures 81/2 inches tall. It is a British made soda with the maker's mark embossed at the rear toward the base. This is a dug bottle. There is quite a bit of stain - especially on the inside at the back. There is a small ping in the lip - very small. There are the usual scratches and scrapes on the outside of the body characteristic of burial. Opening Bid: $60 Estimated Range: $80-120 Sold for $120
109	Manchester, Canada West medicine. Canada West era medicines are very difficult to find. Labelled examples are especially tough. This is a gorgeous little labelled medicine from Dr. Beach of Manchester CW. This beautiful little vial is early and crude - circa. 1860. It has an open blowpipe style pontil. The lip is a fine disk type. There is a portion of the lip missing at the front. The label is a bit faded in spots but clearly legible. The bottle glass is clean and beautifully whittled. Comes with contents for the brave. Opening Bid: $60 Estimated Range: $80-120 Sold for $60
110	Atkinson's Pot Lid. This is a great example of the larger size Atkinson's Parisian Toothpaste. The larger ones have a flatter dome. This example was dug but the glaze of the face is quite clean with just a tiny bit of rust around the outer edge. The flange is a bit the worse for wear with many fine flakes. No harm as these are concealed underneath. Opening Bid: $50 Estimated Range: $75-100 Sold for $50
111	Miller's Pot Lid. This Miller's Glycerine pot is a nice lid. It has an attractive central motif. Dug but in quite good condition with no significant damage - just the usual wear. Opening Bid: $30 Estimated Range: $50-75 Sold for $30
112	RARE Francis Drake Crown Top. This is a very scarce variant of the Drake ginger beer. So scarce we missed it when we building the catalogue! The common Drake is just that. This crown top variant is anything but. You never see this bottle. The transfer is quite different from its lightning stopper cousins. This example is very good. There is a 1 1/2 inch hairline down the right side middle. It is completely hidden when the bottle is displayed. Otherwise the bottle is near mint. The glaze is extraordinary with no stain. It looks new! Both the lip and base edge are perfect. A terrific rare bottle! Opening Bid: $500 Estimated Range: $1000-1500 Sold for $1250.
