Good. (6). Stained throughout, may have been acid dipped? A few annealing marks to inner lip. 12 x 4 mm shallow flake to upper front right lip. Little nick to rear upper lip. Short deep scratch to left chamber. Fisheyes and impact marks scattered throughout. Plenty of scuffs and scratches as well. Some little surface bubbles. Impact to one of the letters has a short shallow fracture through it. Nice looking bottle, you don't get many Australian skittle codds (only one I can think of, the Britten from Tamworth which comes in two sizes). Estimate: $40-60
