Very Good. Some fine lip wear and tiny nicks. Small impact to front lower lip, there is a little flake next to this, only 2 x 2 mm. Impact flake to front lower body amongst the embossing has a 4 x 2 mm surface bruise from it. Three or four impacts nibbles and little flakes around the wider part of the body. Thin sliver along front left base edge over about 7 mm, a small fine surface fracture around to the front from this. Small impact flake to rear base edge has a fine and short surface fracture as well. A few other tiny nicks to be found. Some scratches scattered around. Good embossing has only a few nicks here and there. Some inner dirt and fine haze. A very rare bottle, most of the few that are known have cracks and large dings. Superb colour, and overall decent condition make this a great item from the James A. Lerk collection. Grade: 7.1 Estimate: $200 - 250
