Excellent. One very thin and small sliver flake to upper lip edge, that small that it can barely be felt. A little fine inner dirt at the shoulder that looks like contents residue type stain that should soak out. A few scuffs on the front which are quite light. Some minor scratches. A bit of a dimpled effect to the heel which is from making. One short discoloured scratch to rear shoulder. The original wooden stopper is marked NSWAW / & C Co. This is discoloured with a few splits, but very solid condition. This is a great example, looks to have been found under a house. These usually have a fracture or two in this amber glass, and are quite rare in this condition! We sold one exactly like this in Auction 37 - in fact so much like this that it is the exact same bottle! Grade: 8.5 Estimate: $1000 - 1250
