Good. Some haze and dullness inside. A few scuffs and scratches all around. Annealing marks and little fractures in the lip and neck. Elsewhere are some small marks. The base is made in a really rough and crude way. Embossing a bit weak. Smith started in Toronto, Canada where he obviously had these bottles made but he soon moved to Sydney and most of these are found there along with later ones that had Sydney embossed on them. Grade: 6.7 Estimate: $50 - 70
