Very Good. (7.4). Polished. Extremely rare Melbourne torpedo, not to be confused with the more regularly seen Billson Brothers. A super fine corking mark in the lip of only a mm or two. Remains of pitting wear mainly to the top and around the middle. Embossing is good and strong. A very nice example of what I repeat is a super rare bottle. . Estimate: $1500-2500
