Excellent. There has been a chip ground out from under the lip at the rear, this is not at first immediately obvious. Small flake on the internal lip which looks to have also had a professional job done on grinding it making it nearly undetectable. Base shows some wear and scratches where it rests. There is some wax/grime in some of the grooves. Stopper of this one is in beautiful condition. Print is in excellent order. There is a tiny surface 2mm x 2mm impact on the sixth rib up from the bottom on the back. Another superb early chemist shop item. Grade: 8.75 Estimate: $500 - 600
