Very Good. On the right hand side are 3 tiny impact marks on the bottom 3 logs up from the base. These marks measure 3 x 2 mm, 4 x 1 mm and 1 x 1 mm. There are some fine scratches and wear to the underside of the base where the bottle rests when standing. There is a fine fracture in the lip that is very hard to detect, going down about 1 cm or so. Some dust and grime between the logs and the like that need a bit better cleaning. Lovely example of a classic American bitters. Grade: 7.8 Estimate: $150 - 200
