Repaired. (0). A superb repair, this had the top missing when found, other Campbell ginger beer pieces were found in the same place and one of those correct tops was used to repair this superbly! Some wear around the shoulder and a couple of little flakes. 16 x 6 mm flake to base edge under potters stamp. 12 x 5 mm chip to base edge to right of Easther stamp. A few other little flakes and nicks around the base edge. A few little potters blowouts. Some minor spots of wear to the body. Print has been highlighted with chalk, the impressions are quite good though and would still look fine without chalk. An amazing rarity, the potters stamp alone on a ginger beer is extremely rare, bbut to get a second retailers name on this in Easther is simply amazing! A once in a lifetime opportunity here, are there any even known undamaged?. Estimate: $500-750
