Excellent. Four chips on top of the lip: 5 x 4 mm; 4 x 3 mm; 3 x 2 mm & 4 x 2 mm. Bottle has been used with the chips there. Some original foil around the top and neck. A few scratches and scuffs to the surface. Sandblasted side is a bit weak. Label in nice condition with a few tears. A really interesting bottle. Originally made for the Melbourne Co-operative Brewery Abbotsford and harder to get with the ABA circle trade mark. It has then been seconded by Hunter Bros and has both their sandblasted mark and label. A great piece from early 20th century Victorian breweries. Grade: 8 Estimate: $200 - 250
