Excellent. Inside is a bit dull and has had a small amount of oil in it. There is a tiny 4 x 2 mm (and a fraction of a mm deep) flake to the outside of the lip. Some light surface scuffs and scratches can be seen mainly on the wider part of the bottle. Lovely example of an early, crude Melbourne torpedo. Grade: 8.55 Estimate: $1750 - 2250
