Very Good. Top removes easily, the rubber is stuck to the lip but can see enough to see there are no chips or cracks to the lip. Fisheye to front shoulder. Little pinpricks to left edge of upper etching at front. Series of fine impact flakes around the pedestal base, none of these are large or deep. Some very fine light inner haze, probably soda residue as is common with syphons Fine scratches throughout, also a common trait of syphons. A couple of deeper scratches to front. Some fisheyes. Nice light colour, this is one of several variations of blue Abbott syphon. Grade: 7.7 Estimate: $$100.00 - $150.00
