Good. As seems to often be the case with these this bottle appears to have seen a lot of use. Lots of scuffs and scratches around the body. The outer edge of the lip has little flakes and marks all around it. Bottom of the applied top has a shallow small chip on the writing side. Left side of trade mark shield has a shallow flake and associated impact mark next to it. Some small surface impact marks and fisheyes scattered around. Solid enough and should come up better with a professional clean. Grade: 6.7 Estimate: $80 - 100
