Henderson Bros Kimberley |
|
- This bottle was acquired by Ken Gibbon from Andries Meyer
in the early 80's.
- It was "discovered" in Kens collection by Russ
Smith on his last visit to South Africa during 2001.
- Russ's patience is being rewarded by a unique 3 way swap
involving Cape Glass, a Pretoria Hybrid and a lot of good-will
during early December 2003. This bottle should be in the U.K.
by March 2004.
- It is the only recorded example of a Henderson Bros Hybrid
with a Cobalt Blue marble and although rather sick at this stage,
no doubt Russ will waste no time in restoring it to its former
glory.
- Antique Bottles S.A. is glad to have been instrumental
in this deal.
- Note the very different circular indentations on this bottle
manufactured by W.M. Barnard & Sons London which stands
in a silver plated Codd stand which was a present from Russ
Smith.
