Fair. Polished. Nibbled chipping to inner front and left lip, looks like this has been partly ground back. This amber glass must be quite soft, as these Darwin found bottles are always in poor condition. This has been etched throughout and still has a deep pitted effect throughout. Remains of fisheyes and scratches as well. Inner stain. Very few torpedo bottles in the world come in this deep red amber colour! Grade: 5.7 Estimate: $300 - 400
