Excellent. (8). Spout removes easily to reveal no lip damage. Very light dullness internally, this looks to have been oiled at some stage inside. A few scratches and the odd scuff mark, but far less than usual for a syphon. A few tiny nicks and maybe a little fisheye or two to rear shoulder. Great example of this unusual New Zealand syphon with the weird spout and the blue straw inside. Mataura is a town on the south island of New Zealand.. Estimate: $50-75
