Here is the somewhat faint embossing of the logo of  Kilner Brother's Company: "K.C.B.". 

These letters are intertwined in the style of the day, in the top half of this picture (i.e. R B with C overlapping).

Also showing: "4783"

Lamont stopper still in place, despite 110+ years in Brisbane Water's sea water. Note rubber ring for sealing purposes. Note reverse embossing of RCB logo on bottom.

Blurry embossing at base reads the first part of: "ROSS BROS.." Difficult to read and  photograph...
