Excellent. Nice looking internal thread and one of the harder to get Melbourne varieties. Bottle has some light cloudy stain inside. Some interesting manufacturing swirls on the surface of the glass. Only a few scuffs and scratches to be found and a few tiny impact marks. Embossing is beautifully strong, there are some nibbles and flakes to only a few of the letters, most of them are blemish free. A bit of a professional clean inside and this will be a superb example. Grade: 8.3 Estimate: $80 - 120
