Although this is worn, it still looks great in this colour. 2. Good. Stained. Bruise to lower inner lip, somehow? Small bruise to outer chamber. Small bruise to opposite chamber. Two bruise above the flag. Bruise to base edge over the seam. Scuffs, scratches and some pitted marks to be found. Deep pitted scratch to mid lip. Wear to the high points of the embossing. 3. Good.

Small flake to mid lower back. 7 x 8 mm bruise to lower left rear. 4 x 4 mm bruise near right rear base edge with a small mark next to this as well. Some fine scuffs and scratches. Nice embossing, just a couple of small nicks and some small spots of wear. Quite a rare bottle in this small size and colour, whilst it has the bruises listed, please note that none of those are visible from the front! Grade: N/A Estimate: $60 - 80
