Excellent. A heavy bottle, there is a lot of glass in this. Remains of capsule around the lip and neck. Some inner dirt. Some grime. Little and shallow impact flake to base edge. Some fine scratches. Plenty of little surface bubbles. A superb piece with the original label. The label does have some missing parts, but the majority is in place with nearly all the writing and trade mark visible. It is stained. An amazing item! Grade: 8.2 Estimate: $300 - 400
