N/A. (N/A). 1. Very Good. Bottle itself is great, there are some inner neck annealing marks. Little nibbled impact to base edge. Some fine scratches and spots of dirt. There are three labels on this, neck label, front label and rear label. All have wear. There are some pieces missing. Colours are a bit faded. Paper that remains feels a bit soft. The labels are mostly in place, however, and are very interesting. Has lab analysis on rear label dated to 1917, so we are looking at these being about 100 years old now! 2. Near Mint. A little grime. Fisheye or two. A few light scuffs and scratches. Label has tears at top and bottom, but is mostly there showing that they called their sauce Topic Brand!. Estimate: $20-30
