Very Good. There is a dip in the lip, but this is as per manufacture. Stained throughout with some scuffs and scratches. Two inclusions to base edge, no associated damage with these ones. BUT, there are a few to the body that do have fractures! One between the E and C on the front is on inner surface and has a very minor fracture just into the glass on the inside. The lower rear has an inclusion that has a 8 mm fracture from it to the inner surface, not the outside. The third, larger one is behind the Lamont trade mark, it has a 24 mm fracture from it, again, not through the entire thickness of the glass. This is a rare bottle. Grade: 7 Estimate: $100 - 150
