Lot 121: 3 Bottles. 2 Lamonts & a Patent. J. Ladd, Adelaide & Port. Deep Aqua; J. O. Ladd, Adelaide and Port; J. O. Ladd, Adelaide. Tapp's Patent? (South Australia)

N/A. (N/A). 1. Good. Impact to upper right lip has a small bruise from it. 20 x 8 mm reasonably deep burst bubble to left right base edge has nibbled edges. 23 x 8 mm associated sliver type flake from this under the heel. 17 x 9 mm bubble to right mid lower rear has burst in parts letting dirt inside, some of this is flaked. Little flake to mid left looks to be from making. Some wear, scuffs and scratches scattered around. 14 x 9 mm very fine bruise near right base edge, there is an associated nibbled impact mark. Some nibbled crate wear to the embossing. Lovely colour, this would have been a C. Ladd originally, you can clearly see where the mould has been altered to change the C to a J - we also have the original C. Ladd version in this auction! 2. Good. Polished. 6 x 2 mm bruise to inner right lip. Embossing looks a bit flat and rounded, possibly from the polish? Remains of some fisheyes and impact marks. Couple of small impact flakes to the heel. Couple of tiny inclusions to lower rear have small associated surface fractures. Remains of some scratches, pitted wear and scuffs as well. We have another variety in this auction where the mould has been altered from J. O. Ladd to C. Ladd. 3. Fair. Heavily stained and etched throughout. 11 x 5 mm bruised and flaked area to inner front lip. Two other small upper lip impacts have small bruise from them. Plenty of fisheyes, impacts, scuffs, scratches and wear throughout. Has a lamont stopper in place as opposed to the double ended glass stopper. Estimate: $75-150
