N/A. (N/A). 1. MInt. The wrapper is fragile and so has some tears. This fully encapsulates the bottle, so we have not taken it out, we can see the base to see that it is amber. Wrapper is discoloured. Has an original sticker over the top stating it is a war time package and that the contents remain unaltered. Very interesting item. 2. Mint. Dates prior to 1883 when the company became Martin & Pleasance. Cardboard container has a dint to one side. The lid has printed the details for Martin & Co and Opium, this is 100% the correct container for this bottle. The label here is stained but fully legible. The bottle still has the original cork in place, this is marked opium! Thankfully, no contents! Some dust. Labels on bottle are a bit discoloured. Fabulous item all round! Estimate: $30-60
