Good. 15 x 4 mm nibbled inner lip flake to the right, it is nibbled on upper lip here too and there is a small outer lip flake. Fine star fracture to front upper neck is only about 10 mm long. Inclusion to right upper body has a bruised fracture from it over about 15 x 15 mm. Squiggled swirls to the surface are making marks, basically lines of tiny bubbles to the surface. Lower rear embossing has a bit of crate wear. Some fine inner dirt will soak out. A few fine scuffs and scratches. Nice embossing. Extremely rare, I have never seen one sell! In fact, not sure I have seen one at all with the Fourway patent details to rear, made by Bratby & Hinchliffe? Grade: 6.6 Estimate: $500 - 750
