Very Good. Tumble cleaned. This one has had a light tumble leaving almost all the detail to the outside (you can just see where it has rounded and brightened some scratches). The lip has an indent in it on the side which is where a possible chip has been ground out? Due to the crude nature of the bottle, this could be a naturally wonky lip, but it does appear to be slightly smoother than the remainder of the lip. Inside still has some light milky stain on one side. Beautiful looking English made goldfields pickle. Grade: 7.8 Estimate: $200 - 250
