Good. Couple of minor fisheyes to upper lip. Some scuffs and scratches to the body. At the base of the left seam line is a flake chip, 9 x 13 mm with an impact mark near the base of this. Next to this coming up the bottle is a scratch, 40 mm long. A scuffed scratch goes along the front base from here over for about 60 mm, with some impact marks in the middle of it, there is a scratch up from the middle of this across the embossing over 95 mm, which is reasonably light. At the end of the base scratch is an impact mark, 6 x 7 mm, which has a scratch coming up from it, also over the front embossing, about 125 mm. This scratch has caused some flaking to the M and a few other embossing flakes as well. Some internal rusty looking stains which should soak out. A very imposing bottle, one of the largest codd bottles made in the World! Grade: 6.8 Estimate: $150 - 200
