Very Good. (7.3). 5 x 4 mm bruise to inner right lip. Some inner dirt which looks like it will soak out. 7 x 4 mm flake to front base edge. Fine sliver to rear base edge. A few other smaller flakes and impacts around the base edge. Embossing is very heavy, this has nibbled crate wear across it, heaviest to the rear but there is some to the front as well. This wear is not overly noticeable. A lovely bottle from New Zealand, this is the first we have sold. A nice partner for the four town variety in this auction. Estimate: $50-75
