Excellent. The bottle has some dirt and cobwebs internally. There are some scratches externally. A few fine fisheyes and marks to the shoulder. The label is definitely an old label, and very impressive. It looks the part, but is a jam label on a pickle bottle, and the label says 32 ozs when it is on a 14 oz bottle! They did use whatever they could in the day though, and so this may be original to this bottle, but I certainly could not say that it definitely is. One thing for sure, it is a great label. The gold parts are pressed. There are some stains and minor marks. Grade: 8 Estimate: $30 - 40
