Excellent. There isn't much wrong with this one in fact. The main thing when looking at the bottle is that the glaze has a "dirty" appearance. I think this will clean up quite well with a good soak and you will have a great little ginger beer. There are plenty of little glazed over pinhole type marks, giving this a crude appearance. The top of the lip has some very light wear, not through the glaze at all though. There are light surface scratches that can be seen when the light is shining off the glaze. Underneath the back base is a very shallow (less than 1 mm deep) 11 x 9 mm chip. Also there is a bit of rust on the surface that will clean off with a bit of Rust buster or similar. Quite a small size ginger beer and a nice, scarce bottle. Grade: 7.95 Estimate: $250 - 300
