Very Good. Polished. Although polished, it has only been very lightly tumbled and retains much more detail than any other examples that we have seen of this rare bottle. Couple of tiny lip nicks. Left base edge has a bubble that is partly burst, the rest of it is fractured giving it an opaque appearance. Tiny flake under base heel. Some scuffs and scratches. A couple of dull spots externally. A few little fisheyes and impact marks. The rarest of the range of Whittaker lamonts. Grade: 7.5 Estimate: $$250.00 - $300.00
