Excellent (8.2). The bottom of the seal has a 10 x 3 mm chip, fortunately doesn't encroach on any of the embossing etc. Annealing marks/stresses all underneath the applied top. Inside is a little bit dirty/hazy. Under the base are some nibbles or chips that look like the bottle has stuck while still hot and pulled out some small pieces of glass before finishing. This is quite an early example of one of these and also very scarce in this smaller size. (Same bottle as previously sold in Auction 35, Lot 993). EST: $300 - 500
