Very Good. Shallow sliver to upper lip ends in a nick, there is a scratch to inner lip down from this. Inner right lip has a small sliver flake. Some dullness to lip. Some stain down the left side of the bottle, a bit of rust amongst this in the lower half which also has a surface flake amongst it. Little nick to rear at end of a scratch. Small nick to front under base edge. Some scuffs and scratches. Little nick to H of Thornley. Minor surface wear to some of the letters. Great detail to the trade mark which in itself is superb. Nice bottle, one of the better Victorian Lamont bottles. Grade: 7.5 Estimate: $300 - 400
