Very Good. You can see where the mould has been altered, there has been another letter embossed after Cook and before town. Tiny nick to upper lip. Inner rear neck has a crazed looking area, this would be some form of annealing mark from making. The inner lower body on right has some haze. A little rusty discolouration to right shoulder. Under base and left lower body has an orange peel effect. Scuffs and scratches scattered around. A few small impact marks. Nice, shiny example, these are usually polished so this unpolished example is better than average. Grade: 7.6 Estimate: $$500.00 - $750.00
