Excellent. A rare variety, this has Ltd after Co, yet has Victoria at the base. The Ltd version is normally the clear F Lager Beer variety. You can see where Lager Beer has been removed from the mould on this one and Victoria replaced. Quite a crude bottle, considerably nicer than a standard Fosters. Some inner dirt that will soak out. Little nibbled impact mark to heel. Some scratches and the odd scuff mark. A little fine wear around the shoulder to the rear. Quite a nice piece in this nice condition. Grade: 8.2 Estimate: $50 - 75
