Very Good. Polished. Rear body has a patch of discoloured impact marks and pits over about 25 x 15 mm. Towards the right and rear base the glass has an odd orange peel effect to it, may be remnants of scratches after the polish job? Blends in well, and also may be a manufacturing mark. Embossing is rounded. Seams are still partially visible. A few fisheyes, scuffs and scratches, but generally, the glass is shiny, still with a bit of character. These are rare in the dark brown colour, this yellow colour is exceptionally rare, one of very few known to collectors! These are Australian found, the few that have been found came out of the Darwin region. Grade: 7.5 Estimate: $2000 - 2500
