Very Good. (7.5). Deep short scrape mark to rear lip with couple of short scratches leading into it, tiny flake around from this. Some patches of stain throughout. Couple of scuffed scratches across the embossing at the front. Tiny flake to bottom front corner edge. Couple of annealing marks to lower lip. Some scratches and the odd tiny impact mark. A nice Australian found bottle, not sure on the date except that my example was supposedly found on the goldfields, so would suggest rather early. These small examples come in a few variations, there are two larger sizes as well.. Estimate: $50-75
