Very Good. (7.2). Glaze pop to outer left rear lip immediately under the lip crown, this is a making mark. Horseshoe crack to rear lip crown over a width of about 12 mm, this goes down at each end about 4 mm, basically just the crown part of the lip. Couple of little nicks to the lip as well. Thin discoloured line near base edge is a fine band of wear. Some little spots of wear to the body in places. Some smudges of ink from making. Some scratches and minor marks. Little nick to lower front shoulder. Solid example of a really hard to get Govancroft made ginger beer from this large company. Estimate: $750-1000
