Very Good. Couple of little scrapes to outer lip. Couple of fine discoloured surface fisheyes to shoulder, couple more slightly bigger ones near right base edge. Some fine inner dirt that should mostly wash out. Fine 4 mm fracture part way through glass next to E of Trade. Another one of about 3 mm near seam. Another to lower neck. Small one near K of mark. These are pretty much annealing type marks by the look of it from making. Scuffs and scratches scattered around. A little fine high point wear to embossing. Some little impacts and fisheyes to be found. Couple of spots of surface rust. Odd inclusion type marks throughout, this is quite crudely made when you have a close look. A very rare Gippsland bottle in good, shiny condition. Grade: 7.5 Estimate: $$1,000.00 - $1,250.00
