Very Good. In my mind, one of the best crown seals in the country. Tiny fleabite to lip. Has been oiled internally. Dull inside. Couple of scuffs to outer lip. Right rear shoulder has some scuff marks and scratches which are a little deeper than standard. From about the mid front shoulder around to the mid rear shoulder is a streak which is a making mark consisting of a series of fine airbubbles. Deep discoloured scuff to right behind seam near base. Some scattered lighter scuffs and scratches. The heavy embossing has some minor high point wear, a few little flakes and nibbles, just basic crate wear. What a great bottle! Grade: 7.3 Estimate: $750 - 1000
