J. Rooney / Wine & Spirit / Merchant / Warrnambool. No potters stamp. (Victoria). Demijohn. Impressed. Two tone, tan top, off white body. Impressed. 1 Gallon. 309 mm. 1900s
Good. (6). Still has the handle, but do NOT use the handle. This has a hefty crack across the top of it and will fail if used. 25 x 10 mm chip to the outer left handle where this crack crosses. Reasonably large chip to outer front left lip, this is about 36 x 14 mm. Some grime which will clean off. One or two minor flake type marks to base edge, possibly from making. Crude making marks scattered around. Rooney obtained his wine licence in 1898. Rare demijohn, the first we have sold. Estimate: $200-300
