Stained. Heavy scratches down the back and one or two on the front. Interesting flask, made to have a stopper. 4. EXC. Some nibbling and fleabites to the inner lip. A few scratches and scuffs around. Great colour. Nice little bottle. 5. VG. Just a bit dull and stained. Manufacturing imperfection on the neck. Pretty good example. (late Ern Taylor Collection). Estimate: $100-200
