Very Good. (7.6). Some grime. Fine scratches and scuffs scattered around. Patch of deeper scratches above the label. Some nibbled wear to some of the embossing. Label is discoloured and has a few spots of wear with a couple of little foxed areas to the edges. Looks like this company was registered in 1925, which would make this one of the first bottles used by the Gippsland Brewery. The company was incorporated on the 6th July, 1925 by T and J. J. Breheny. A great piece of history, this is not a label I am familiar with.. Estimate: $100-150
