Very Good. The bottle itself is a superb example, but to get it with the original labels is simply amazing. One of the shoulder edges has a shallow flake from it. Little flake to base at one of the corners. Large airbubble to front lower body on right edge has a fracture along the edge, which is only part way into the glass. This is full of airbubbles of all sizes, one truly magnificent piece of glass! Note the reference to Melbourne on the label, don't miss this one! Grade: 7.7 Estimate: $150 - 200
