Very Good. On first glance this one looks great and will clean up a bit better. There is only minor wear to the top of the lip and the stamp is a good clear one for one of these. On the side is an area of scratching through the glaze below which are some black scuffs on top of the glaze (these scuffs will clean off). The total length of this is about 45 mm from just below the shoulder to mid bottle. Near the bottom of this is a very fine diagonal 25 mm hairline. Light scratch to shoulder leading to a small glaze flake. Another small glaze flake near the warning badge. Both probably from manufacture. On the edge of the back base is a 17 x 7 x 2 mm chip. A few other light scratches and scuffs can be seen. Overall a nice looking ginger beer. Grade: 7.55 Estimate: $125 - 150
