Good. Fine 3 x 4 mm bruise to outer rear lip, from this is a larger angled crack from outer lip down to inner lip over about 18 mm, this is hard to see on most angles. Little surface flake to front base heel. Burst bubble near rear base edge. Inner dirt will soak out. Some outer grime will clean off as well. Surface rust to lower left. One or two minor scuffs and a fine scratch or two. No marks to any of the embossing. The base number is over the A. G. M makers marks from a previous mould. A relatively early milk, this is the first we have ever offered from this dairy. This dairy was on the corner of Brighton and Wickham Streets, Newmarket. The dairy was sold in 1927, so this bottle would likely date prior to that. Grade: 6.7 Estimate: $20 - 30
