Shallow 10 x 8 mm chip to the front shoulder. 7 x 7 mm chip at the heel. Minor other wear and marks. Nice stamp (parts show white as there is some powder in it to highlight. Solid example. 2. Very Good. Rust spot on one side. Four shallow chips under the base ranging from 20 x 7 to 4 x 4 mm. A lovely early bottle, this should really have EX stamped in it by the looks of the style!
