Very Good. This was found complete with contents in the Yarra River, the finder used silastic to seal the top into place to retain the contents. Looks like there has been a small chip under this on the upper lip. There are some scuffs and scratches externally. Some fisheyes to be found. Contents are very clear, with some sediment to the base, was more than likely lemonade. These early machine made internal threads from Marchant's are much harder to get than the blob top examples. Grade: 7.7 Estimate: $20 - 30
