Very Good (7.5). A few little fisheyes around the lip. Has been oiled internally. Small open bubble to inner side chamber. 8 x 4 mm surface bubble with some dirt in it at end of neck groove on writing only side. Patch of dullness on one side. Little fisheyes and impact marks to be found. Some scuffs and scratches as well. Heavily embossed, this does have a little wear in places and some impact marks, but is quite good in general. Tiny flake to heel on trade mark side. Slightly bigger fisheye to front right base edge. Quite a heavy bottle.
