Very Good. There is a shallow flake chip to the right side lip, 5 x 5 mm and up to a mm deep at its worst, so quite small. There is some surface scratching to the front around the embossing, with some scuffs and scratching to the rear shoulder area. The embossing is very heavy and generally unmarked, the W has a small impact mark at the bottom of it, the L of Ltd at the bottom of the bottle has the lower part of the letter chipped off. There is some dirt and possible light haze internally. This is a great show bottle which is very rare. We have sold a polished example of one of these prior, this example is possibly better than the first example sold. Grade: 7.7 Estimate: $2000 - 2500
