Very Good. Little flake to upper and outer lip. The lead seal is loose and comes off. A cork is firmly in place. This bottle is full with the original contents. Well, the original contents after it was reused by the NSW Aerated Water Co. Burst bubble to corner in upper region above label. The front base edge has a large bubble, a small part of which has broken, causing discolouration to the whole bubble. Some scuffs and scratches. The all important label is not the best. There are sections missing. The main parts of the label are there. This is not a label that we have ever seen, a very interesting and significant item. Probably about 70% of the label remains intact, there is some wear, fading and stains. Very interesting, original piece that would have been found under a house. There is some grime. Grade: 7.3 Estimate: $50 - 75
