Excellent. (8). There is a shallow nibbled impact mark touching the D of Good at the front, this is about 4 x 3 mm, with a minor nick or two to the D as well. Tiniest of slivers to left heel, barely noticeable at all. Tiny surface impact on the kangaroo, another just below the kangaroo foot. First M of Summers has a small impact flake to it. The J of John to the rear has a nibbled impact to it as well. Series of tiny bubbles streak through the base and up the side, a making mark, adding to the desirability of this example. Some fine scratches and the odd scuff mark. A wonderfully shiny example which is unusual for anything from Charters Towers. Rare and sought after bottle, this is the first small example that we have sold! Estimate: $750-1000
