Good. This example sold in Auction 11 with the following description, "Presents fairly well but has a dark 110 mm hairline to the right side from just below the top. This hairline is very tight over most of its length but a fingernail just catches on it up near the neck. Surface of the bottle is a little scruffy with fine scratches. There is a short discoloured scratch to the front shoulder. Outer lip has some very light wear. Should clean up better and hairline needs a good soak to clean, the print on this one is superb!" It has since been touched up by way of a paint job over the hairline to disguise it. Texta mark to rear. Graded initially at 6.6, it now looks a bit better whilst still being the same bottle, so I have marginally upgraded the grading. Grade: 6.8 Estimate: $100 - 150
