Very Good. Tiny impact to inner rear lip has a small bruise from it. Tiny nibbled impact to right base heel. The farmers left knee has a nibbled flake. A few scuffs and scratches on this trade mark side, it is heavily embossed and quite shiny down this side. The rear chamber and upper half of the body is quite dull with scuffs, scratches and some fisheyes. The lower body at the rear is a little dull but not as scuffed as higher up. Some fisheyes. Quite a nice example, looks great from the trade mark side. Nice early type and not easy to get. Grade: 7.5 Estimate: $125 - 175
