Very Good. Listed in David Jones "Thirsty Work" on page 643, bottle 3 as rarity A. With J. Ross half cut off at the bottom, looks like a mould from another bottle has been utilised. No wire stopper in this one. On the monogram side there are deep scratches between the EG of Registered and another one between the MA of Mark. Weird mould mark in the form of a large surfaced bubble all around the St embossing on the writing side. Some general wear otherwise. This is a nice shiny example and quite a rare bottle. Grade: 7.6 Estimate: $200 - 300
