Very Good. Rare item in this large size. This one has a very fine 6 x 1 mm flake to the crude mould edge area at the front base. Around half of the bottles surface is dull and there are typical scattered scuffs and scratches. One irregular deeper scratch to the rear, over about 10 mm but in different directions. Slightly nubbled spot to base which is just a bit rough to feel, 8 x 5 mm. A few small fisheyes to be found. A beautiful, crude bottle with loads of whittling and character. Stunning, big kangaroo trade mark. Really nice example of a very rare bottle. Grade: 7.8 Estimate: $1250 - 1500
