Excellent. Importantly, this bottle is complete with the original contents, which appear to be some form of cola. The person who found this surrounded the stopper with silastic to prevent any leakage of the contents. Some fisheyes to the lip. The left rear shoulder has a fisheye, verging on a ding which is 5 x 4 mm. A few fisheyes around the base edge. There are some scratches to the glass surface. The embossing is extremely strong, there are some flakes and small impact marks to a small percentage of the large amount of embossing. Some scattered fisheyes to the body as well. The contents has formed some flaky residue. A superb piece in this fully original condition. Grade: 8.2 Estimate: $75 - 100
