Repaired. (0). Top has been replaced, looks a little chunky for the bottle but not too bad. Crack to the front marble chamber which has a thicker middle part of 17 mm and then continues in fine lines just to the inner surface of roughly 15 mm above and below the main part. These extended lines can be very hard to see though. Body of the bottle has been polished just leaving some scratches and small marks around. Lip has a fleabite on the edge. Wear inside the marble chamber. Good strong embossing. Not a bad looking example. Estimate: $200-400
