Excellent. Two tiny nicks to lip edge. Some fine annealing marks to inner lip from making. Some fine scratching to lower inner neck from a bottle brush. Patch of inner dirt should soak out. Tiny sliver type mark at base edge corner is amongst an odd making mark and likely from making itself. Little scrape to another base corner has a tiny nibbled mark amongst it. Crude streaks of tiny bubbles in the glass from making. Couple of tiny fisheyes and impacts. A few minor scratches. A superb example of a very rare bottle from S. Greene & Co of Fitzroy.
