Near Mint. What a bottle!! Never before have we seen such an amazing piece of glass! For starters, they have used a mould from some other bottle, which was longer than this, therefore the Ltd still appears at the front base of this bottle, with a ring around the bottle at this level where the mould has been altered to add Burnet's details. This is a sauce bottle, but a crown seal! The seams are just HUGE, with the left side seam near the base being jagged for a section and actually quite sharp - yes, this is a dangerous bottle, and we love it! there is one tiny surface bubble behind the right seam. The legal jargon which is normally to the rear or around the base is actually under the base! A couple of small scuffs to be found and the odd tiny fisheye. The mould marks, and overall crudeness of this bottle are something that you have to see to believe, yes we have used exclamation marks a lot in this description, but to finish with we must reiterate our opening statement - "WHAT A BOTTLE!" Grade: 9.4 Estimate: $150 - 200
