Very Good. Small flake to lower applied lip at rear, which is common with these early blobby applied lips, blends in very well. Oiled internally. 30 x 7 mm airbubble to the rear has some dirt inside, this is open over only 5 x 2 mm, enough to let the dirt in. Scuffs and scratches scattered around. A few little impact marks. Quite a decent example of this early codd bottle, very hard to get in this decent condition. Grade: 7.5 Estimate: $150 - 200
