Very Good. (7.3). Baby oil inside. 4 x 2.5 mm flake to the top of the back left lip. Scratches all over. Some stain inside and a line of darker glass behind the upper embossing. Shallow 10 x 6 mm chip at the front base edge under the SL of Island, this has an associated shallow bruise under part of it, not a deep bruise by any means, pretty much just looks like part of the flaking. Extending from the right of this chip, under the base edge itself is a thin chip of 9 x 2 mm. A thin bubble on the neck with dirt or impurities in it. Great embossing. A wonderful and very rare bottle. Iconic and likely Australia's most desirable blob top soda.. Estimate: $10000-15000
