Poor (0.0). Flake chip to front right lip has been superbly repaired, barely noticeable. Looks like a large portion of the base and rear has been missing. 90 x 60 mm section of base looks like it is filled, since the repair this has shrunk a bit creating splits where the join was, tapping this gives a VERY hollow sound! This comes up the rear by 50 x 65 mm, and then on the narrow left side goes down about 27 x 44 mm. The front of the flask looks great with the repair to the side and rear and base only. An interesting early UK public house flask which was found in Australia, no idea on rarity, but it is an early item, possibly even 1840s? EST: $50 - 75
