Good. The rarest of the range of BCD codds we have had over the past couple of auctions, this is the first 7 ounce blue marble example offered for public sale in memory, possibly ever. Pitted scratch type marks to left lip, smaller section of similar marks to right lip. Some nibbles to upper lip. This bottle is heavily stained, it is quite opaque really, but does not seem to be etched or worn down too much. There are plenty of scratches including a few more pitted areas like the lip, although pitted these are not too deep. Some fine impact marks and fisheyes to be found. Good embossing, there is some high point wear and scratches to it in places. Still has some dirt amongst the embossing. Until recently at the National, I was not even aware of these bottles. Grade: 6.5 Estimate: $$400.00 - $500.00
