Very Good. Is slightly cloudy with some surface scratches and scuffs. Nothing much in the way of deeper marks: There's a short scratch on the back right lip. A couple of little flakes/scratches on the back and some scratches on the left shoulder around the seam that look like shovel marks or similar. A slightly deeper scratch running along the front base. There are a couple of fine fisheyes to the body, these are small in size and number. Embossing is beautifully strong and detailed with very little wear. This is one of the rarest Victorian Internal Threads AND it has a great pictorial. An absolute top show bottle. Grade: 7.5 Estimate: $1500 - 2000
