Very Good. Dull all over. Quite scuffed in places. Shallow 10 x 3 open bubble just below the E of Beard. Also shallow 7 x 3 mm chip on the inner left front lip. Cartwright from the Parkes area seems to have used quite a few bottles from other factories with his name scratched into them. Beard closed in 1903 so Cartwright may well have bought up his bottles.
