Excellent. The bottle itself is fine. Some inner stain down one side may be contents residue staining? A few minor marks externally. The labels are pretty good, some tears to outer edges and minor splits in the middle. Colours are quite good. Labels are quite stunning actually with the big lion on them. I am not sure of the age of the labels, they look like they have been on the bottle a long time, but the bottle at the same time looks earlier than the labels. It has been suggested that these labels are in fact good, early labels from the earlier part of the 20th century. A fantastic looking piece which is highly desirable. Grade: 8 Estimate: $75 - 125
