Excellent. The lip has some crude folds in the glass, but there are some shallow and small flakes amongst these as well, the largest is about 5 x 4 mm but a fraction of a mm deep and barely noticeable. A small scuff mark to the neck. The seal has a surface split over about half from top to bottom, this is also from manufacture. There is some grime to the shoulder of the bottle, this will clean off. A small rear scratch, a little scuff to the left seam, some minor dirt inside. Crudely made, under the base there is a central pimple, then where it actually sits there is a series of eights pimples just as it goes up into the kick up base. This is a most unusual bottle, we have never seen a neck sealed and embossed bottle in one, don't miss this opportunity to add a great bottle to your collection. Grade: 8.7 Estimate: $300 - 400
