Excellent. This is harder to get in this small size, they are normally 10 pounds. This smaller one comes with poison embossed on the shoulder as well, so this is another variation again. Little flake to right shoulder lug where some form of handle would have been in place. Couple of little nibbles to base edge. Some scratches. A few spots of discolouration and crazing. Grade: 8 Estimate: $50 - 75
