Very Good (7.1). Oiled. Hazy and grimy internally. A little surface rust to upper neck. Upper rear body has a lump of glass on the surface. Right upper body across seam has what looks like a deep scratch, but is also a lump of glass on the surface from making. Flake to the H of Hop. 7 x 4 mm flake to front right near the base edge, a small nick or two beside this. Some scuff and scratches to be found, a few scratches are a little deeper than standard. Shallow flake to the trade mark, some discoloured wear to the right of the trade mark. Pretty good embossing otherwise has some minor points of wear in places. An unusual bottle, we have sold several similar bottles with an A base mark, quite a number of M base mark examples, but never have we sold this V base mark example! EST: $100 - 150
