Very Good. Body of the bottle has some scratches and scuffs. Some wear / nibbles to a few letters of the heavy embossing and a chip measuring 8 x 3 mm on the bottom part of the L of Geelong. There is a very fine rough spot on the back inner lip. There is some light scratching on the internal upper neck. Also a few spots of internal milky haze. Generally this is one of the best examples of this bottle you would hope to see. The wire and bail is rusty, this example has the original stopper in place with the Chas Cole, Geelong design printed on it. Grade: 7.8 Estimate: $250 - 300
