Very Good. Importantly, this is different to the other aqua ones that I have seen, normally there is another couple of lines of writing below Vinegar near the base edge! This is also lighter than usual, almost looks clear on some angles, but definitely has some aqua in it. 28 x 12 mm chip under front left base heel, this is nibbled at the edge. Alongside this is another flake under the base over about 16 x 10 mm. Some light inner haze. Little nick to right base edge. Some scratches. Embossing is very strong, there are some nibbles to the high points of some of the letters. The label looks like it has been moist at some stage. It has some stains and discolouration, a few tears along the right side, but is in good condition otherwise. Extremely rare variation without the label, but with the label this is almost certainly unique! Grade: 7 Estimate: $500 - 750
