Repaired. (0). Repaired through the neck. A brilliant job, this looks in original, undamaged condition but is definitely a repaired bottle. The body has been painted over too, was there work done here somewhere as well? I think I have located what was done, when you check the rear writing, you can see a fine hairline through the middle through this part that is not painted, so the paint is likely in place to hide the rest of this hairline, with the remainder of the body paint to blend this in. I do wonder if maybe there is another crack or two covered over? Whilst it is repaired, and quite extensively, it is a good job that looks the part in anyone's collection.. Estimate: $100-150
