Very Good. On first glance this bottle looks quite down in condition but in general it is just dull/stained over most of the surface. There are some pit marks and small fisheyes to the shoulder area and near the base in particular. Embossing of the trade mark is a bit weak. Also a bit of rust stain on the mid back. Some light wear and flaking to some of the letters. Impact mark to left seam near the base. Some scuffs and scratches. Overall however this is a very solid example of quite a rare patent marble bottle. Needs a professional clean but is well worth it. Grade: 7.1 Estimate: $200 - 300
