1. Fair. Polished. A reasonably rare bottle but has a lot of deep pitting remaining around the body. Top and lip is worn and also pitted. Below the X of Pannifex on the point of the bottle is a smoothed over chip covering about 15 x 10 mm. OK shelf example. 2. Very Good. Not immediately obvious but this bottle has had a very light tumble clean to remove some surface haze. Still some dullness inside and fine scratches and scuffs over the surface. Fleabite or two around the lip. Nice detailed embossing, pretty good example. Grade: N/A Estimate: $80 - 100
