1. Fair. Heavily etched and pitted throughout. I have not separated the writing from front and back as I do not know where the seams are! 2. Very Good. A nice, early example. Couple of tiny nicks to inner lip. Thin open bubble to left lower shoulder. Little impact at rear base edge has a small bruise from it. Some scuffs and scratches. A few fisheyes to be found. Interestingly, this has a number of shells inside, many of which are too big to get out! They have obviously grown inside the bottle. Grade: N/A Estimate: $20 - 30
