Excellent. Bottom of stopper has N. Fritzner / Patent / Berlin. Some grime to stopper. Wire is rusty. Little scuff to outer lip. Scratch to left of Aitken, a scuff next to this. Usage wear under base. Sticker residue to lower rear. Great embossing, just a few spots of minor high point wear. Tiny surface nick to rear mid body. Lovely whittled glass. Some fine scratches and scuffs. A unique bottle, this early Melbourne piece is very rare and sought after.
