Very Good. Polished. Typical condition for one of these. There has been extensive surface pitting and etching which is still visible throughout. The lip has a couple of small bruises and marks. Some minor reshaping has been done to the upper lip. Annealing marks through the applied lip as well. Embossing varies from very strong to a bit weak but that is often seen with these as well. Quite a respectable example. Grade: 7 Estimate: $100 - 150
