Excellent. Some grime on the glass surface. Tiny and shallow impact flake under base. Some rusting, stains and discolouration to metal components. A very odd bottle. The wing nut at the top screw out with an attached rod that goes less than half way into the bottle. The bulbous section screws off separately. Maybe the bulb was some sort of mixing chamber? Interesting piece. Grade: 8.5 Estimate: $30 - 40
