Very Good. Polished. Typical of these there is a lot of etching and remains of pit marks all around. A fine 12 mm impact and fracture around the very top of the lip. Embossing is light in places which again is typical of these. An annealing mark and some dullness in the lip. A solid enough example of a hard to get bottle. Grade: 7 Estimate: $40 - 60
